About "The Inland Sea of Talbot Bay, Western Australia"
by Hilke Maunder
About the artwork
For British wildlife filmmaker Sir David Attenborough, they are "Australia's most unusual natural wonder": the horizontal "waterfalls" of Talbot Bay, which are created by the high tidal range on the Kimberley coast.
However, these are not real waterfalls, but narrow outflows from the side bays of Talbot Bay, which can be seen here in the picture - the excursion boat is heading for the falls. The tidal range of the tides creates equalising currents in Talbot Bay, which push through two narrow barriers of red rock as huge masses of water. The first and seaward gap in the McLarty Range is around 25 metres wide, while the second and more spectacular gap is only 12.5 metres wide. At each tide, the currents change direction and form large eddies at the exit. In the "Inland Sea", a large lagoon, the seawater mixes with the freshwater of Poultry Creek, creating a biotope that a local fisherman uses for his aquaculture - with several pools on a small pontoon in the heart of a wide blue. The banks of the Inland Sea are lined with a green ribbon of mangroves. Rising above it are rocks that are around 1.8 billion years old - sandstone, quartzite, siltstone, slate and dolomite with plenty of stromatolites: sometimes sheer, sometimes impressively furrowed - red rock in the most beautiful variety.
