Day 37. Up early as we are getting picked up for our flight on a float plane with Kimberley Air. Adam our young pilot was so friendly and knowledgable on the East Kimberley region.

Followed Picaninny Gorge, Cathedral Gorge and Echidna Gorge and many wild dry watercourses. We m...

Day 36. Today the Prado has been dropped off at Kununurra Toyota for a mid trip service. Breakfast at a local cafe then a lazy day reading and washing.

Very relaxing before most other ...
