Clive Davidson and Don Phillips meet up on Kimberley trip



Don and Marjorie Phillips with the Captain of M/V Orion

I attach a few photos from our recent expedition cruise on MV Orion to the Kimberley's. To our surprise and delight we shared the experience with Don Phillips and his wife Marjorie pictured with the Captain.

The cruise left Broome on 4 July and steamed each night to the next locality for a 'hard' days sightseeing and exploration using the ships Zodiacs and guided by an amazing group of enthusiastic Expedition Guides. All in all an amazing experience and certainly very different from the normal "cruise" experience.

Seeing this region from the sea is very special.

Next item on my "Bucket List" is Antarctica and you will be pleased to hear that Christine and I are off to Mawson's Hut and Antarctica on 2 December as part of the Centenary celebrations for Mawson's trip. Also on MV Orion.

Cheers
Clive
