Well we finally made to Kununurra, our last stop in WA before we cross the border into the Northern Territory. The last couple of days have been a little depressing, Fitzroy Crossing and Halls Creek are hard towns but already Kununurra has impressed us.

The drive up from the Bungle Bungles today was something special. The highway traversed thru huge red rock mountain ranges. It was what I had anticipated we’d see thru most of the Kimberley region but its been mainly in the eastern part.

What was unexpected was the rich agricultural industry here, leveraging off the abundant water from the Ord River. After 1000’s of km’s of nothing but red soil and dust, to see the lush green fields of various crops, it was like we were back in Victoria with the market gardens in Werribee. We are using Kununurra as a base for our travels over the next few days as we intend to visit Wyndham and Lake Argle and other sites around Kununurra. Unfortunately El Questro is closed and that’s been a constant theme during our WA travels, COVID has certainly curtailed a number of the activities we planned on doing in WA.

The Caravan Park we are staying in is one of the nicest we’ve been too on this trip. It’s extremely well grassed (rather unique in northern WA), nice pool and amenities and our site which is backing onto Lake Kununurra is great. They have a superb cafe and last night there was a singer songwriter playing for a couple of hours. Highly recommend the Kimberleyland Caravan Park.
