From The Deck – TRUE NORTH
Catriona Rowntree, journalist, TV presenter and one of the world’s most avid travellers, couldn’t resist the opportunity to experience the Kimberley coast after yet another record-breaking wet season. Catriona joined the first Kimberley TRUE NORTH departure of Season 2018 and reported that the region’s great beauty actually moved her to tears. Not a bad endorsement from someone so well-travelled. Catriona also took the opportunity to ask True North Adventure Cruises founding director Craig Howson, what else about the Kimberley coast makes it one of Australia’s most-desired holiday experiences. Watch the interview here. |
