Getting Away From It All

Ever feel like you want to get away from it all? You know, f-a-a-a-a-r away, where there’s no sign of humanity for miles and miles? If so, the Kimberley region, along Australia’s north coast, just might be the place for you.

The boat seen here is Ocean Sunrise, which was built in Adelaide, Australia, by Dave Nelson for the private school where he teaches. He trailered her across the continent to Darwin so he and his students could explore this primeval world. Talk about an education in the school of life!

If you want to see exactly how remote this anchorage is, check out this link to a satellite image of the region, which was updated during Nelson’s stay. If you look closely, you can actually see his boat — the only sign of humanity for miles in any direction.
