Gantheaume Point is a promontory about 6 kilometres from Broome, Western Australia. It was named on 24 July 1801 for Honoré Joseph Antoine Ganteaume, by Nicolas Baudin during the Baudin expedition to Australia: this was a French expedition to map the coast of Australia, then known as New Holland.There are outcrops of Broome Sandstone, deposited in shallow water in this area in the Early Cretaceous period, about 130 million years ago. Footprints from dinosaurs of that time, and plant fossils, are preserved in the sandstone. At very low tide, dinosaur footprints can be seen about 30 metres out to sea.

Windjana Gorge National Park is a national park in the Kimberley region of Western Australia, 1855 km northeast of Perth and 355 km east of Broome. Open during the dry season only - usually April to November . The gorge has been carved by the Lennard River and is over 3 km long and about 100m wide with walls to a height of 30m in places. The rocks are part of the Napier Range, an ancient Devonian reef system that is over 375 million years old. The rocks are the same as the ones found at Tunnel Creek and Geikie Gorge. The river flows freely through the gorge during the wet season but during the dry season it becomes a series of pools surrounded by trees and shrubs. Some of the vegetation found along the river banks include paperbarks, cadjebuts, native fig trees and leichhardt trees.

7. The Grotto Wyndham
In the New Testament, the Massacre of the Innocents is the incident in the nativity narrative of the Gospel of Matthew in which Herod the Great, king of Judea, orders the execution of all male children two years old and under in the vicinity of Bethlehem.

True North - An Amazing Kimberley Adventure

True North is a luxury 5 Star vessel purpose built to explore Western Australia's amazing coastline. This short film shows a snippet of one of True North's signature adventure tours, the Kimberley Wilderness Tour. I was lucky enough to be invited aboard True North to film the first half of this trip from Wyndham to the Hunter River. It was an amazing experience which truly showcased the best the Kimberley has to offer. Without this luxury floating platform accompanied by the Bell 407 helicopter most of this area would be impossible to get to. I will be traveling on the second half of this journey on the 29th August and hope to post some additional amazing scenes.

All the footage was taken with the Canon 5D mk2 using a wide range of Canon lenses. Edited in Final Cut Studio.
