Whether you’re starting or finishing the Gibb River Road, you’ll pass one of the most well known stations along here – El Questro. You could say this Kimberley station is a destination in itself. Over the years, we’ve pretty well taken full advantage of what’s on offer, except for the afternoon cruise on the Chamberlain […]
When heading out onto the iconic Gibb River Road from the east Kimberley end, Emma Gorge Resort is your first stop destination, and only 50 kilometres from Kununurra. But before reaching this gem, stop at the Gibb River Road turnoff to take a photo by the iconic Gibb sign, and take a moment to look […]
You’d think with so many visits to Kununurra under our belt, there wouldn’t be much about the place we didn’t know. But that’s not the case, when you’re not considered a local until you serve a hefty apprenticeship in the region! With that in mind, we hooked up with a great bloke, Ben Smith from […]
There are numerous caravan parks and different styles of accommodation in Kununurra, and it always pays to do some research beforehand to find something that suits your needs, and within your budget. For our recent visit, we chose the Kimberleyland Waterfront Holiday Park after having stayed a few years ago. And as we’d heard some renos […]
The one thing that leaves a lasting impression no matter which road you take into the town of Kununurra, is how green it always is. This region has an abundant supply of water thanks to the Ord River Irrigation scheme and Lake Argyle. To learn more about how this water is used and where it […]
As regular Kimberley visitors, we always look forward to a different experience. And for this trip, we wanted to see it from the skies for a birds’ eye view. Having hiked through the Bungles, cruised on Lake Argyle, and toured the Argyle Diamond Mine in the past, we thought it was about time to see […]
Choosing a park in Darwin, we got ourselves settled in (which was surprisingly more like a resort) and headed off to the infamous Mindil Markets. First stop….Mick’s Whips! Imagine hearing what sounds like a heap of firecrackers going off, so of course we went to investigate. What we found in fact was this guy with a stock whip in […]
Sun, sun, and more sun…Autumn weather is magnificent when it’s a glorious 30º everyday here in Kununurra…we feel for you guys down south suffering from the cold blustery conditions, but someone in the country has to have a bit of cold weather! Ok, enough of that…where do we start as there’s so much to share…. With the amazing Ord […]
Day 22 – First stop at El Questro was Saddleback Ridge Lookout. The track leading up to the lookout was a good 4WD track, pretty steep and narrow, and gave the Paj a bit of a workout. Upon arriving at the top, the scenery was stunning. We had 360 degrees view of the place – there […]
After arriving back in Kununurra, it took us a while to get back into the swing of things with heaps to clean. That red dirt gets into absolutely everything. Having also been used to our own company over the past month or so was a total contrast to being back amongst so many other travellers […]
