Bucket list item! "The Horizontal Falls", Talbot Bay, Western Australia [View all]

Here's a vid produced by a Western Australia Tourism promotional firm, featuring a company that will fly you in and then take you for a boat ride!



One of the great and fascinating natural features of Australia.




I had the good fortune to live in Australia for a while back in the 70's and visit again in the 90's several times, but I have never been to WA.
