BOATS Western Australia
In 1990 FSC member Ross Brown suggested to the Cruising Section committee that the collective knowledge and experience of members could be gathered into a cruising guide for Western Australian waters. Ross drew the short straw and was asked to undertake the task with the help of a small committee. Seven years later, Western Australian Cruising was published in August 1997.
Western Australian Cruising guide is regarded as the coastal cruising bible for WA, covering the complete Western Australian coast from Darwin to Eucla, including the Christmas and Cocos Islands. It includes many anchorages, routes, both in charted and uncharted waters, showing suitable spots to anchor, dangers, tidal in formation, places of interest and brief history of the area. An introductory section covers general pilotage information, weather, tides, passage planning, radio stations, dangerous marine animals and a brief history. This book is a definite “must have” for cruising the Kimberley. pp 250 maps, diagrams, photos #0219/0120/0920/190323
