Kununurra to Exmouth


Hi all

Late again with Blog but we have been out in the sticks in WA  

On the way to Kununurra we stopped in at Lake Argyle, We had a look at the dam wall and surrounding area and did the Sunset cruise on the dam, where we saw lots of fresh water crocs and other wild life.

We had a good look round Kununurra and Wyndham the highlights were The Grotto Prison Doab Tree, Five Rivers Look out, Emma Gorge Zebeedee Hot Springs and we touched the Gibb River Road but it was too rough turn back after 200 meters.

Then we drove to the Spring Creek free camp where we took a helicopter fight over the Bungle Bungles better than driving over the very rough road, Lee enjoy the helicopter fight may because I was in the next Helicopter and not in hers.

Then we head down the Highway to Halls Creek and Fitzroy Crossing where we dropped of the caravan off at the caravan park and went down to Geike Gorge for the river cruise the scenery was wonderful, we had Barra, Chips and Salad from the Pub, it was nice but only a small serve for $15 each.

Next stop was Derby and visited Windjana Gorge and walked close to crocks on river bank, the next day we took the seaplane from Derby to the Horizontal falls which was awesome and then had a Barra Lunch then more runs thought the falls and a river cruise then sea plane back to Derby, end of a Fantastic day out. Even meet up on the trip with Ron Atkins and wife some of you may know him from the Forrestfield days.

We head for Broome but parked caravan at Roebuck Roadhouse which was 30km from Broome and took day trip into Broome, we had a good look around the Broome highlight. On the last day we were heading back to the caravan a noticed a large plum of smoke on the horizon which was the bush around the Roebuck roadhouse and it was still burning as we drove in No damage to any caravan as the Ses guys hose down all the vans .

Then down the road to Port Hedland and Karratha the gas plant was well worth a look then when to Dampier to see the statue of Red Dog by the info board.


Visited many bays on the way down to Exmouth and did some great free camps
