Montgomery Reef NW

The tides in the Kimberley coastal region are huge;

 an average day might see 6 to 8 metres variation across the reef

. So on a big high tide, most tour ships

can easily pass over parts of Montgomery Reef.

 But within a few hours the reef can be exposed

and tower over 4 metres above the water.

This can trap boats, and also trap animals, such as turtles.
