If you are looking for a unique and exciting show, you absolutely must visit Talbot Bay, in Australia.
In this splendid turquoise bay there are the Horizontal Falls, the Horizontal Falls, one of the greatest natural wonders of the world.
These particular waterfalls are actually water currents which, at high tide, slip into a crack in two coastal gorges, about 10 meters wide. The movement of the tides in the cliff creates the effect of a real waterfall flowing horizontally.
In addition to being horizontal, when the tide recedes, these waterfalls also flow in the opposite direction, going backwards.
Anyone who wants to experience the Horizontal Falls can try one of the many itineraries offered by local tour operators, who often combine the visit with a seaplane tour on Broome o Derby, ideal for the less daring.
The phenomenon of horizontal waterfalls is visible only when there is tide change, so it is always preferable to find out the exact time to go there.
Talbot Bay is part ofBuccaneer archipelago, a group of approximately 800-1000 islands formed by ancient sandstone rocks from the pre-Cambrian era. The archipelago is named after the buccaneer William Dampier, who first sighted the islands in 1688. The largest islands are Cockatoo and Koolan.
Not far away there is city of Broome, which is a tourist center much loved by visitors from all over the world. Welcoming, multicultural and dedicated to pearl production, Broome is located in the north-western part of Western Australia. Here, among crystal clear waters and natural beauty, there is a very famous beach, Cable Beach, so called because the first submarine telegraph cable connecting Australia to Singapore was laid there in 1889. Cable Beach is over 22 kilometers long and the tides can reach up to 9 meters in length.
South of Broome, however, there is the Roebuck Bay, which is home to numerous species of migratory birds. Off the coast, it is possible to see, at low tide, dinosaur footprints dating back 130 million years.
