We left on Saturday 13th July and headed into Kununurra to do some shopping and head out to a free camp near Wyndham. We had heard all the caravan parks in Kununurra were all booked out and weren't taking bookings as the Agriculture Show was in town and the place was packed. Before heading to the shops Chris and I made our way to the Tourist Information Centre to pick up some pamphlets on the area. It was packed in there too. When we did get a change to ask we f...

Thursday 11th July We arrived at Big Horse Creek National Park Rest Area at about 3.30pm to find it was already full! There was however an area just away from the main camp that seemed okay. There was a sign across from us that said NO Parking and a sign down by the boat ramp that said No Camping but we weren't near either. We still paid our $3.30 each just to keep the ranger happy and hoped everything would be okay. The cruise tour on the Victoria River left...

We were following the trainline again so I check the Ghan timetable; it was arriving...

After turning off Stuart Hwy we had to obvious fires in front of us, one on the left and one on the left. This was a bit worrying especially when we came a...

We pulled up outside the Aurora Shady Glen Caravan Park on Monday 1st July at 10.10am and found we had to get into a cue to get in!! There were about 4 in front of us. Chris and I decided to go inside and join the cue to book in. There were 3 terminals and people everywhere. The chap who served us was the same one who took our phone booking. He was very helpful. When we got to our site the gardener was busily raking up all the leaves from under the two beautiful ...
