Up at the crack of dawn – coffee, cereal for the kids & pack down & off to Bell Gorge – we got to the path’s start just after 7:30am – pretty amazing! Sunscreen, walking shoes, bag of essentials & we’re off… A bit of a trek over rock bairns (I think they’re called), kids did well! Very green & the rock such beautiful colours in parts. Up and over the 1st rocky bypass to look down on the waterfall. Not ...

They say it is getting hot pretty early this year & there has even been some speculation about when the wet season might start (normally about October). The gorge used to be some old Devonian reef – underwater reef – of course billions of years ago but there is ev...

Just after 3pm we headed down to Tunnel Creek to do this ...

Gave us a chance to clean the car out a bit, make some adjustments to how it all goes &...

Wow a white peacock in the caravan park – what a beauty! It came to show itself off and then found a tree to go perch up on, pretty big bird for perching overhead though – would not like to be in the people's caravan below it that night! A day in a caravan park today – and not at all exciting caravan park for the kids – Kimberley Entrance Caravan Park – they start getting pretty loud by the end of the day if they’ve been bor...
