Arriving on high tide, we leave the ship and head out by Zodiac to the edge of Montgomery reef. As soon as the tide drops it exposes the 'river' a narrow channel we will explore by Zodiac. We will witness torrent water and endless cascading waterfalls. As the water drops further, the reef is exposed, and fish are trapped on the reef and in pools. They brings in an array of birdlife. Keep a look out for the white and grey morph eastern reef egret, ospreys, white bellied sea eagles and the beach thick knee. In the water we hope to see dugongs, stokes sea snake, tawny nurse sharks and hammerhead sharks.
When the tide is out, many turtles are concentrated into the 'river', and over a few hours one can see dozens and dozens of them. They are often found both in the water and stranded on the reef.
