Kununurra and Wyndham

We have got 7 nights here at Kununurra and have spent 5 already. The small town has all you need as far as amenities, and a tidy little town too. Again I have to say, and I know it's a bit boring to keep repeating yourself BUT.. the landscapes up here are truly amazing, they change at every turn of the road. I can't put my camera down for a minute. Of course none of the pictures do it any justice....... I wondered initially when we drove into Kununurra town how we would spend 4 nights here... and then we extended it to 7. Again we have  met some fantastic couples and spend most nights around the camp sharing stories of what we've done for the day. At the moment there are 13 of us catching up for a drink or two before dinner is under way. I'm actually being beckoned for a Wine and a  Rum from the Hoochery so must go.. I'll come back another day and fill in the blanks but in the mean time here is some of what we've seen... luv to ya all...xxxx (check photos at the side and i'll ad some extras and videos at a later date.
( ok its a day later and i'm back)

• Wyndham Croc farm, exports to France

Ok here we are in Wyndham not too much to see, a little like Woodridge but probably not that nice, (sorry to those who come from that end of town, Mike went to school at Woodridge high for a while) although a great lookout of the 5 rivers, BUT then there is the croc farm.... A bit sad really because I think in the area of hygiene and work place health and safety they probably rate a big * (thats a one star ) but the guy who runs the place is absolutely hilarious, so he gets a Four ****  (now dont be rude ) just for that. They export 18 mth old salties to France from Darwin, they export them back to OZ as handbags and we pay a fortune for them ... go figure!!!! This is how they feed them.

We had a quick looksee before the tour started and I took a few pics through what I thought was a hole in the cage for cameras. I was quite happy holding my arms and camera through these little holes in the wire.. then I realised it was where they fed these big 6m mothers. 

See to the side a beautiful specimen named DONALD.. To our brother in law Donny wog... he is a big mother just like you  hahahahaha and cute to boot ...LOL..

• Wyndham port and 5 river look out

This was pretty cool such a great panoramic 270 degree view of the port of Wyndham, we had lunch up here after the croc experience. Click on the photo to make bigger!!

 This is actually a quick photo on the way back from Wyndham to Kununurra and we passed the entrance to the Gibb river road... just to say we were there.... maybe next time in a camper trailer!!!!

This is Ivahoes crossing the ripples of fast current behind is the road needless to say it was closed. There are big mother crocs int his river but still the locals swam in the shallows !! UGHHHH monster current too.  They are letting out huge amounts of water over the spillway from Lake Argyle and Ord River. Good Barra here if you can beat the heat.

 The Hoochery distillery (great rum)
This is the only legal still in the WA.. Apparently!!!

Miram National Park.. I wasn't sure but I thought we were in the Bungles   hahahha

We had a day fishing on Kununurra lake today with our new "mates " Pedro and Maria  from Uruguay.... well originally they were!!.. no luck, steak for dinner. We are off to the Bungle Bungles on Thursday (today is Tuesday) and have booked into a 4X4 trip in as we have been hearing horror stories about the drive in and the mechanical mishaps.. needless to say after paying the tour Pip has sprained her ankle and the trip requires you to do 6 klm of hiking.... perhaps we will have to cancel and fly in !!!!! 

Take care all chat soon Lis Mike and limping Pip  xxx
