So after deciding to wait in Wyndham for Ella's arrival in Kununurra, Julie and I looked around at places we had visited last year, but also checked out some new gorges that last year had no water in them, these were Molly Spring, Valentine Pool, Middle Pool and Black Rock Pool. Only Molly Spring had enough water in it to make it a nice swimming spot to show Ella. Ella was very keen to see a crocodile so we checked out the Wyndham port and Marglu Billabong sever...

Continuing on from my last blog, we had gone for a walk around our campsite after setting up. The next morning we were a little slow off the mark. Last year the temperatures were in the mid to high 30s, this year it was mid to high 20s, so we thought we could get away with a later start to our walk along Piccaninny Creek to Cathedral Gorge and Whip Snake Gorge.

This could turn into two blogs, it's been ages since I last wrote.

In the afternoon I decided to see how far it was to Millstream so as to know what time to b...

Well, the whole reason we came to Exmouth was because Michael had been given a voucher to swim with the Whale Sharks for his 60th Birthday by his family. We arrived in Exmouth on Saturday and Michael was booked in for his swim on Sunday. Exmouth had had 173mm of rain on the Wednesday before we arrived, so there was still quite a bit of water around and debris in the streets, we saw one young lad riding his bike through waist deep water! Sunday's forecast wasn'...
