Katherine (NT) to Kununurra (WA)

We spent some time in Katherine with Kath Slack and her 3 boys. Kath’s husband, Kristan is the rector at Katherine Anglican Church, where we went to church a week ago. Lee and the twins, Ezekiel and Jeremiah are having a jam session.

From Katherine to Kununurra is 520 km. Before crossing the border, we spent a night at Victoria River caravan park. 

This is the Victoria River early in the still morning.

and this is the normal type of road train.

Next overnight stop was Timber Creek. It has been hot and we had a swim in the pool at our caravan park most afternoons.  

Boab trees started to appear at Timber Creek and have been common since then.

Every visitor to W.A. passes through a quarantine check point. We  had stewed our apples, eaten all our honey and par-boiled our vegetables, and we went through with only a cursory inspection.

Kununurra has a lovely national Park and we went for a walk early, while it was still fairly cool.

Here is a beautiful bird, the Rainbow Bee Eater we have seen in a few places, including our Caravan Park.

And here is the Uke player still strumming as the sun goes down.

Kununurra is also the town for the Ord River Irrigation Scheme. Next blog I will feature some pictures from a plane trip we took over Lake Argyle and down to the Bungle Bungles.
