I volunteered myself to do the blog for the few days that we stayed at Kununurra so grab yourself a cuppa and get settled in as I'm sure to waffle on a bit to record our adventures of the past few days. Thursday 30th July We had a leisurely cooked breakfast this morning before leaving Palm Springs and heading back into Halls Creek. With both cars fuelled up we left town heading towards Kununurra. We were cruising along just fine when we felt a slight change i...

Today Wendy was feeling a little sad knowing that we wouldn't see Sam, Ken and Janette for at least another 5 months at xmas.

We were up early as we had a long drive to Broome, 800 kms and looking forward to been on the road again and out of Karratha. The drive to Port Hedland was very uninteresting, not much to look at.

What a long and boring trip there was absolute...

JOES4B had increasingly noisy belts on start-up which would need attending to next opportune time. At the end of the day we pulled into Kar...

After an extremely windy night the morning was the same. First thing after breakfast the boys again got their fishing gear out. From the cliff face to the water's edge was about 6 meters. This meant hard work if a decent fish was to be retrieved. The boys decided to have a play. The Barracuda was diced up and used as bait under a float. There were some big trevally to be seen in the depths but they would not take the bait. The morning soon disappeared with the ...
