Farewell Kimberley Hello Katherine

The Kimberley certainly throws at you a variety of landscapes. After the Fitzroy we stayed a couple of days in the Halls Creek area including one night camped beside Palm Springs where we swam then fished. Even Joy caught fish in the warm pool. (Fortunately our neighbours plied us with pancakes so we didn’t go hungry)

Then it was onwards to Turkey Creek our base for a 4WD tour onParnululu National Park (better known as the Bungle Bungles ). The tour left at 5.30am and returned around 7pm so it was a long day but a magnificent journey with walks at both ends of the park. Unfortunately our camera could not capture the scale of Echidna Chasm or Cathedral Gorge, the destinations for the walks.

We then traveled to Kununurra where after a rest day we took a scenic flight over the Ord River Irrigation Area, Lake Argyle, the Argyle Diamond Mine and the Bungle Bungles. Monday, it was boat trips on Lake Argyle then down the Ord to Kununurra.

Last Tuesday we entered the Northern Territory and spent a night beside the Victoria River. We did a walk up to an escarpment to view Aboriginal paintings and then traveled to Katherine for a relaxing dip in the hot springs (32 degrees and it was like a warm bath). Stay tuned for more of our adventures since then.
