Had an easy run from Derby to Broome and found a spot at Broome Caravan Park for $48/night. This would end up being the most expensive park on our trip, although we did not know that at the time!! We had visited Broome once before, in 1998, for Luke & Kiyomi's wedding. The place has certainly grown since that visit though the centre of town still retains a lot of its original character. When we took a drive to Cable Beach to watch the sunset we had great di...

Derby We arrived at the Kimberley Entrance Caravan Park in time for a late lunch then in the afternoon we took a leisurely drive around the town and spent an interesting couple of hours at the pier which still loads some cargo but not the cattle which they used to ship out in the past. Derby is on the section of the coast that has huge tides occasionally as high as 11mtrs. There are miles of mud flats which only get covered with water on the very high t...

Not a great deal to see there, had a quick look around then continued on towards Fitzroy Crossing. Spent that night at a free camp about 90ks east of Fitzroy Crossing, lovely spot with great views but very windy. Arrived in Fitzroy Crossing in time for morning tea and met two aboriginal artists, Russell & Malcolm,...

El Questro About 80kms out from Kununurra, with the final 15k's over a dirt road which included a few creek crossings. Nothing to worry the van, the deepest point only about 600mm. We spent a pleasant few days in a nice shady campsite and checked out many of the walks and attractions. We visited Zebedee Hot Springs (Yes...another one!!), very relaxing but not a big area and lots other people partaking of the experience along with us. The springs are closed...

From Katherine we headed towards Kununurra via the Victoria Highway. Stopped at the Victoria River Roadhouse for lunch and had a very interesting chat with an older aboriginal man, Bill Harney, who, along with his family, owns a large (1million acres) cattle station nearby and also does tours of the property showing some of the indigenous culture. He invited us to go and camp at the station but he was going into Katherine for a couple of days and we needed to ...
