Gibb River Rd




Hi All Well We have been in Broome now for 3 weeks , had a ball and a great place to get stuck,.
The post Office lost our mail,and we had to wait for trailer parts so we have been here longer than expected.
It has been great though as we have had places to stay so haven't had to fork out heaps for accommodation.
he Gibb River Road was easy and basically a graded highway so not really an 4wd adventure anymore, if you want that you have to get further out which is becoming hard as either pastoral lease or aboriginal land and has been lock up!!!!
As it was getting late in the season and water was drying up we just did the main part of the track and went to the usual spots none of my special ones.....
Anyway it still is a beautiful part of the world .

The Bungles


Well the Bungles didn't disappoint as usual, It is truly spectacular scenery and the colour range is magnificent. I don't think there is any more spectacular scenery in Australia than the Kimberly!
We are still with the Wellmans and are having a blast the kids are really enjoying themselves.
The road in was good basically just a graded road now with some creek crossings .
Anyway i hope you enjoy a snapshot of some of my pics.

The Bungles are not just about the beehive domes


Balancing Rocks,Walking under these is a bit nerve racking.

Wandjina Art


Well Kununurra a favorite place of mine as the you are right smack bang in the middle of the Kimberly with some amazing scenery around some great galleries, great fishing and did I mention the scenery?

Here I had to do trailer repairs (again) We were still hanging out with the Wello's and took a trip across Ivanhoe crossing to Wyndham via the back track also stopping at the Bird observatory where I think I saw more birds up close than any other I have been to.

After I had finished repairs we moved to Wyndham for 4 days and I got some flying in with 3 days of flying what a great site but there was an inversion happening and I couldn't seem to break through it so didn't get to high but about 300m above the Bastion, What a view I wish I took the camera up for some pics:( I did get some video footage so will make up a You tube Vid when I get a chance!!

Well the weather has been hotting up with temps in the 30's we are finally getting some beach weather just need a beach??? Bring on Broome.
