Wake up in the Sale River and chase some Barramundi before enjoying a swim in a beautiful billabong. When the tides are right we head to Montgomery Reef where over a hundred square miles of coral reef rises out of the ocean as the tide recedes. The amount of sea life that collects in the channels has to be seen to be believed, including turtles and dugong.
