Relaxing in Darwin after a sleep in and late arrival this morning. Soon to pick up our 4WD and so be able to start exploring Darwin before our sunset cruise and dinner this evening on Darwin Harbour. Meantime the views below are from our balcony of our room at Skycity Casino,…

From a place we have used as a hub for several weeks as we have explored the Kimberley, to a place we have visited for half a day on a cruise. And to fly over the wilderness we have experienced on the ground with so much joy. This flight and…

Today was all about visiting the iconic Horizontal Falls in the remote Kimberley coastal area north east of Broome. There is no road access to these Falls, thus requiring a combination of land, sea or air transport to get there. We utilised the main tour group from Broome, who transported…

There can be the calm before the storm. In our case, there is the ‘do-next-to-nothing’ day before we launch back into our next adventure. That includes tomorrow’s trip to the Horizontal Falls, it being in a very remote part of the Kimberley only accessible by air or sea. We met…

Now we are in-between destinations and tours, just chilling, without vehicle, in the lovely Cable Beach area of Broome. Is there a better place to have an early morning walk than along the beautiful and extensive Cable Beach? So much room to walk, run, or even give the thoroughbreds some…

Today was an easy 4.5 hour drive from Fitzroy Crossing to Broome, marking the end of our Gibb River Road trip. We also had to return our 4WD hire vehicle, it being a new Mitsubishi Pajero which performed very impressively and reliably for us, on and off road. We are…

Leaving early from Purnululu National Park, we succeeded at avoiding the trafffic that can otherwise impede your progress and vision on this most corrugated and challenging road. Sixty five km and 105 minutes later, we were on the bitumen and pleased we had now survived our off-road adventure without any…

Three walks today after an early start. In the north, the wonderous Echidna Gorge, the challenging and mighty Mini Palms Gorge, and the scenic Homestead Valley. Exhaustion and sore feet thereafter.  

Left Kununurra to explore the southern end of the Bungle Bungles, famous for the beehive like domes and the Cathedral Gorge. However, first there is the very heavily corrugated and tricky 55km 4WD track to negotiate beyond the bitumen. That was fun and time consuming too. This is Molly Springs…

Back to Lake Argyle, this time to stay the night and complete a most pleasant sunset cruise and swim on this vast and impressive lake. Lake Argyle is quite close to Kununurra, on the road to Darwin, to the east, some 70km or so. After spending the morning in and…
