Derby (Day 1)
Today was very much a “housework” day, catching up on washing and stocking up on groceries for the next leg of our travels. After a sleep in and slow start to the day, we ventured into town first stopping at the Visitor Centre which is a very nice centre with lots of souvenirs for sale…

Fitzroy Crossing – Derby
Although the Parks and Wildlife reports the road from Fitzroy Crossing to Tunnel Creek as closed, we spoke to a couple at the Geikie Gorge boat tour who had apparently done the drive the day before who assured us the road was open and totally fine for a 2WD with no water crossings. With that…

Purnululu – Fitzroy Crossing
We had a slightly later start to the day compared to the past few days as we were in no real rush today. We hopped on the highway toward Fitzroy Crossing, stopping briefly at Halls Creek to fill up with fuel which was an experience in itself. So many locals hanging around the petrol station…

Purnululu – Kununurra – Purnululu
This was the day no-one was really looking forward to. We got up early to once again enjoy the buffet breakfast before hitting the road. The drive out on Spring Creek Track took slightly less time as “G” was more confident in Barry by this stage and we knew what we were in for! We…

Purnululu (Bungle Bungles) (Day 1)
Again, we were up with the birds this morning. We enjoyed the buffet breakfast on offer before setting off on the 45min drive to the “Northern End”. We arrived around 8:30am and checked out Stonehenge, which is just a walk through the grasslands with various signs indicating what the Indigenous people used each of the…

El Questro – Purnululu (Bungle Bungles)
We were up super early this morning thanks to the light coming in through our tent and the birds singing. No one was complaining though so that was good! After we ate our breakfast and loaded up the car we went for the walk to Emma Gorge. It was quite a rocky 3.5km return scramble…

Kununurra – El Questro
This morning we bid farewell to Katie the Kia and took off in Barry the Budget Rental to El Questro. It isn’t a very long drive from Kununurra so we headed straight into El Questro itself and hit Zebedee Springs which was stunningly beautiful and the water was soooo nice and warm. We soaked our…

Kununurra (Day 3)
What an adventure packed day we had today! We were up bright and early as we had to be at our boat pickup point at 7:45am. We hired a BBQ pontoon for half a day to explore Lake Kununurra from the water instead of land. We had so much fun skippering our little pontoon down…

Kununurra (Day 2)
Well today we all enjoyed a lovely sleep in as the cabin bedrooms are lovely and dark with warm beds. Once we all had breakfast we headed off to the Airport. Why the Airport, well “A” had done research and watched some very recent videos of the road into the Purnululu (Bungle Bungles) were very…

Kununurra (Day 1)
Today we enjoyed a buffet breakfast at the hotel which was included with our accommodation before checking out. Accommodation was so hard to get when we booked 6mths ago that we had to stay one night at the Kimberley Grande then move for a further 3 nights at the Kimberlyland Waterfront Caravan Park. As we…
