Lake Argyle – Kununurra
We didn’t have very far to drive today!! As we left Lake Argyle, we briefly called past the Durack Homestead Museum for a quick look. The homestead is quite a pretty re-built stone building, the original homestead would be under Lake Argyle somewhere!! On to Kununurra to visit the Saturday morning markets. Nothing that really…

Lake Argyle (Day 2)
Perfect weather in the paradise that is Lake Argyle to enjoy the sunshine, lake and relax. We spent the day at the lake and the resort today, generally relaxing, climbing trees, swimming in the lake and the pool and playing on the grass. Soaking up the views of Lake Argyle really fills in a day…

Lake Argyle (Day 1)
The young two were up early this morning whilst the elder of the family had a bit of a sleep in. After breakfast, we headed out to check out the Lake Argyle and Ord River and Dam area a bit more. There are some incredible views in this area with a couple of lookouts to…

Katherine – Lake Argyle
Today we crossed the border back into WA!!!!! Our day started out as usual with a very leisurely pack up of our stuff. The drive out of Katherine was fairly uneventful though we did see two rather large roadkill snakes (eeeeek!) along with a dead horse and dead cow 🙁 The scenery through the Victoria…

Katherine (Day 2)
After staying up quite late watching a movie last night we all had a much needed sleep in this morning before deciding that everyone just wanted a “home” day so we did exactly that and today’s entry will consequently be super short. We spent the day at the cabin, catching up on some washing, doing…

Katherine (Day 1)
This morning we headed out for a cruise on Nitmiluk (Katherine) Gorge. We opted for the two gorge, two hour cruise which involved a short 400m walk over the rocks to transfer boats between Gorge 1 and 2 as the water level is too shallow. It was a fantastic cruise with a very informative guide…

Litchfield – Katherine
We left Litchfield with the hope that we would be able to stop in at Douglas Hot Springs on our way to Katherine but alas, the hot springs are closed due to ongoing problems with the ageing bore 🙁 Needless to say, it was rather a quick trip to Katherine with not a lot else…

Litchfield (Day 2)
After a big sleep in, we hit Florence Falls for the morning. Being a Saturday, it was a bit busier than yesterday afternoon but still as enjoyable. We spent several hours swimming, playing under the waterfall and snorkeling to look at the fish. Unfortunately, later in the morning some ‘young adult males’ full of bravado…

Litchfield (Day 1)
After breakfast this morning, we headed into “town” to the visitor information centre which actually wasn’t helpful at all!! Just outside though there was a tree full of bats so we at least enjoyed watching them for a little bit. There is also a funny little replica castle just up the road. Off we headed…

Darwin – Litchfield
A little bit of a disappointing start to the day as we tried to go on the ferris wheel at the Darwin Waterfront but it was closed for some maintenance 🙁 Off we headed to Crocodylus Park which is just a short drive out of Darwin. Crocodylus Park was lots of fun with lots of…
