Day 35. Lazy Sunday morning, bacon and eggs on the barbie. Just before lunch we were picked up at our van park by a comfy bus as today we are cruising with Triple J Cruises 55km down the mighty Ord River back to Lake Kunnunurra in their very fast boat. Jeff the owner of JJJ was our bus driver and boat operator today. The 70km bus trip out to Lake Argyle Village was very scenic, stopping at the old Durack Homestead. We boarded our fast boat at the bottom of the d...

Day 34. Up early to the Kunnunurra Markets in the town park. Bought a big paw paw for later while Raechel bought some unusual zebra rocks. A big day trip of 300km today to visit El Questro Station and Resort for morning tea and later Wyndham. On the way we detoured down a dusty track into Zebedee Springs for a wonderful soak in the 33 degree natural hot springs flowing into small plunge pools amongst the grove of Livistona palms. Very relaxing before most other ...

Day 33. We have finally arrived in the East Kimberley at small township of Kunnunurra where we will base ourselves for the next 5 days. Lots of exciting activities planned! We are at Big 4 Discovery Park on the edge of beautiful Lake Kunnunurra. First, grocery shopping to replenish our stocks after passing through Western Australian Quarantine at the border station. A quick lunch at the van and then dropped Raechel off at the Kimberley Diamond Shop (dangerous I ...

Day 32. Headed west today along the Victoria Highway towards Western Australia. 90km outside of Katherine we came across a group of apparently drunk aboriginals lying asleep around their stationary vehicle parked close to the highway strewn with beer cartons. We thought how sad! Then a black snake on the road! We stopped for lunch at the Victoria River Roadhouse just inside the National Park, surrounded by brilliant red flat topped mesas and escarpments of the V...

Day 31. Slept in and shaped up for a lazy day. Drove 30km out to the Nitmiluk National Park (Katherine Gorge), traditional home of the Jawoyn people. Lunch on the deck at the visitor's centre, we decided not to do a gorge cruise as already done on a previous visit to Katherine. Back in town for a walk down the main street, intrigued by the number of brothers and sisters milling about. Out to the old Springvale Homestead built by ex-Overland Telegraph linesman Al...
