#Fol­low the Jour­ney of the Tide Drifters This is a jour­ney that began thou­sands of years ago through what is today known as the Pearl Pas­sage, a jour­ney through the tur­bu­lent waters, whirlpools and eddies between Jooloom and Jayir­ru. Step onto the tour ves­sel depart­ing from Cygent Bay Pearl Farm, with your local guide Rosan­na Angus a proud Jawi woman whose fam­i­ly lived on Sun­day Island dur­ing the ear­ly mis­sion days. Expe­ri­ence the pow­er of some of the world’s biggest tidal waters and learn how these mas­sive tidal cur­rents were used by the Jawi peo­ple to hunt, fish and trade. Share the sto­ry of the Tide Drifters as you retrace the ocean jour­ney from Bar­di Coun­try on the main­land through the net­work of islands and tidal pas­sages that make up Jawi Coun­try. Explore tran­quil, unspoilt loca­tions and learn about the cul­tur­al and envi­ron­men­tal sig­nif­i­cance of this spec­tac­u­lar marine reserve. The remote Kim­ber­ley coast is an untouched wilder­ness rich in Abo­rig­i­nal cul­ture. Abun­dant with wildlife, the shel­tered Buc­ca­neer Arch­i­pel­ago and King Sound are nurs­eries for hump­back whale calves and three types of dol­phin. The Kim­ber­ley Marine Park is home to dugongs, man­ta rays, sea tur­tles, ham­mer­head and tiger sharks as well as count­less migra­to­ry birds and ter­ri­to­r­i­al birds of prey.
