King River tidal flats near Wyndham, Australia

There are at least five different rivers in Australia called King River. The waters in our photo flow in the northern portion of Western Australia, a region known as the Kimberley. Here at its mouth, the King empties into the Timor Sea at Cambridge Gulf. The tidal marsh provides an ideal habitat for the huge saltwater crocodiles that are a sort of mascot for the nearby town of Wyndham.
