Kununurra - WA

3rd September - 7th September 2014

I was very pleased to arrive in Kununurra to replenish our food supplies and get some phone range! We stayed at the Big 4 and were very happy when they didn't charge us for the kids!  It was a really nice outlook onto Lake Kununurra.  There was lots of fish and turtles that came right close to the river bank looking for a feed.  There was even a freshwater croc that came into the waters edge, the caravan park named him "George".  

We did a day trip down part of the Gibb River Road.  We set off nice and early to try and beat the heat a little.  We headed for El Questro had a look around and grabbed a coffee.  We then went to Zebedee Springs for a dip!  The springs were just like getting into a bath with the temp between 28 - 32 degrees, but you had to climb around rocks to get into there!  We happily sat for about an hour before getting out and heading to Home Valley Station.  To get to Home Valley Station we had to cross the Pentecost River which was pretty awesome fun.

At Home Valley Station we had some lunch and was amused to see crocodile balls on the kids menu! Ashton decided he would give it a try and they turned out to be very tasty!

Just out of Kununurra was Miramar National Park, we did a couple of nice walks in there which had some great views over the town.

Our next stop is Spring Creek.
