A new Taylor record - we were packed up and had left our camp at the Bungle Bungles by 730am. We loved our 3 night stay there. We had a longish drive today as it took 5 hours to get back to Kununurra where we did a massive shop and restock before hitting the start of the Gibb River Road. The Gibb River Road is the corrugated dirt road that runs through the heart of the Kimberley. It is around 650 kms long and goes through to Derby which is just east of Broome. We...

Happy 10th birthday Pippy. We keep telling her what a special place to be for her 10th birthday - she doesn't look quite so sure. We had a slap up breakfast of bacon and eggs and then we made a birthday cake which Geoff cooked in the weber. It turned out beautifully other than the burnt bottom and edges. Nothing that a bit of icing can't fix!! We set off for the 2 walks in the southern part of the park - Cathedral Gorge and The Domes. The landscape really is ama...

We set off this morning to do the walks in the northern part of the park. We did 2 walks, Echidna Chasm and Mini Palms. The kids are doing "ok" with the walking. Although when it is baking hot in the middle of the day there is understandably a degree of whinging. Remarkably the whinging disappears when we find other kids to walk with. Geoff and I are loving the walks as the scenery is just so iconically Aussie. This afternoon we drove to the helipad within the p...

We travelled down to the Bungle Bungle National Park (Purnululu) which is around 5 hours from Kununurra. The last 2 hours are on a very corrugated road. No caravans allowed and some people choose to leave their camper trailers behind - so not many grey nomads down here. We persevered with ours and made it ok. There were 7 river crossings which Cecil handled beautifully. We arrived in time for yet another gorgeous sunset which we took full advantage of by taking d...

This morning we went and had a look at the Kimberley Diamond shop and introduced the girls to pink diamonds! They were given a fake one but if it was real would be worth a million dollars - keep dreaming! After our flat tyre on the way into Waterloo Station last week, Geoff went into a panic about not having enough spares (we only had one spare and a puncture repair kit). So when we were at Waterloo Station he bought another land rover wheel on ebay and had his m...
