We were both hugely relieved when we made it past the 10km mark of the Gibb River Road! The road was pretty rough. We hit our next obstacle, the Pentecost River, at the 57km mark. We decided to stop for lunch and wait to see others cross before we took the plunge. A couple of vehicles went across whilst we were lunching, one a truck the other a Landcruiser. Both crossed with ease so we got ready to cross. All went well. We only travelled another 10kms to g...

"Why have they another entry in Kununurra?" I hear you ask. Well it's an interesting story and it goes like this. We took our time packing up the camp to take advantage of the wireless internet available at the caravan park. We stopped in town for money, milk and petrol before hitting the road. The first 52kms were very pleasurable along the highway to the turn off to the Gibb River Road. Here we pulled up to reduce the pressure in our tyres and th...

As soon as we arrived in Kununurra we headed to the market and fortunately the lady had my size and I am now the proud owner of a pair of Buffalo sandles. We also stopped at a mechanic to get their opinion on our camper. They pretty much said we should head to Broome, even along the Gibb River Road, and get the brakes fixed there. After talking to Pioneer, the manufacturer of the trailer, they also said pretty much the same thing. So that is what we will do. ...

After leaving Warmun we continued along the Great Northern Highway back towards Kununurra. We had made a booking in town from Saturday, so we spent Friday night at the Cockburn Rest Area, 45km east Kununurra. This was actually quite a nice spot. Someone had left firewood, so David cranked up the fire while I cooked dinner and we sat in front of the fire listening to Geelong versus Hawthorn on the radio. We wanted to get back to Kununurra early Saturday mornin...

On the way down from Kununurra we stopped at the Warmun/Turkey Creek roadhouse for a toilet stop and came out with a big box of hot chips. Mmmmm hot chips. From the roadhouse it was only 50kms to the turnoff into the Purnululu (Bungle Bungle) National Park. And then only 53km from there. These 53km, we had been warned, took us an hour and a half. The road was so windy, rocky and corrugated that we averaged 35km per hour. There were also four creek crossings...
