Vlaming sailed past it. Dampier never noticed it. Flinders didn't see it. 19th Century pearl fishermen knew about it. Ships once stoped there to load ore. Flying from Derby will take you 35 minutes. Fly from Broome and it'll take you 65 minutes. Take a holiday there and it'll last forever. Part of the Buccaneer Archipelago - a thousand islands, a million bays. The lost paradise located.

| Buccaneer Archipelago History | |
There are places sacred to the Aboriginal owners in the Buccaneer Archipelago. The Bardi people of the Kimberley for instance, were one of the few Aboriginal peoples that were seagoing.
| Buccaneer Archipelago Today | |
Today, the Buccaneer Archipelago is otherwise practically uninhabited except for the diverse range of unusual and exciting animals found on the scattered islands. Many species of snake, gecko, monitors, lizards and dragons, bats, sea snakes, rock rats and crocodiles have been found.
| Horizontal Waterfall Talbot Bay | |
Massive 11 metre tides pound through the close walls between two islands at Talbot Bay, creating the impossible effect of a horizontal waterfall flowing across the face of the ocean as waters surge at a massive pace through the tight spaces between narrow island gaps; the huge tides creating the effect of a flat waterfall flowing horizontally across the face of the ocean.
The Dampier Peninsula points its finger into the Buccaneer Archipelago. This remote area north of Broome and Derby is home to a number of Aboriginal Communities. The Dampier Peninsula is as breathtakingly beautiful as it is remote. Visitors are required to get permission before entering communities.
