An Unkown Adventure - The Montebello Islands

After a last minute decision the night before leaving I packed my bag and camera gear ready to set off in an old wooden cray boat to the Montebello islands. An adventure that had been described as one of a lifetime it would be crazy for me to say no. What was expected to be a week long trip soon turned into an unknown adventure with no set date and no real way back to land, I guess this just makes it all that more of a real adventure. Living off a boat comes with its ups and downs and a crew that you have only spent a small amount of time getting to know is always going to prove it’s own challenge. Stormy seas, cloudy days, murky water, it started to feel like some bad luck!
But all in itself these moments added to the adventure and made the last few days of good weather that bit sweeter.

Unbelievable footage, probably the best depiction of the montes, I’ve seen. And I’d recognise that cray boat anywhere! Haha

Outstanding work Ryan!

Nice... I'm just re reading Robert Drewes book ‘Montebello’ and your short film brought alive some of the places he described. To think that the British detonated 3 atom bombs here in the 1950s... outrageous. So pristine and eden like. What a crime to the natural world (and humanity).

Fantastic viewing, unknown adventures are often the best, you learn a lot about yourself and the experiences can be so wonderful.
