Kimberleys Trip 24 June 2019

We were very snug and warm in bed, and the temperature was 6oC outside. Keen to get going we were off home before 8am. At some points we were driving directly into the sun as we were driving east. We took a Fuel & toilet break at Emerald.

An Emu was in the paddock right on the edge of Blackwater. We stopped at Bluff for morning tea, and just after Dingo, (the town), a Bustard was walking towards the road.

Unfortunately, with only 123km to go and we got a big hit on the windscreen as a truck went past, but luckily only got a star. As we were coming into Rocky there were clouds which looked as though there might be a shower. Once again it was lovely to be away, but even better to get home!
A bit of the red dust we 'collected' on the trip...it took days of cleaning and I'm pretty sure we still haven't got it all out!

We travelled 12,611km in total. 

 The most stunning things on the trip, for me, were:
Goosses Bluff - biggest crater in Australia from a comet
Uluru & the Olgas. 
The Devil's Marbles
The Bungle Bungles - Echidna Chasm & Beehives - helicopter flight
Seeing a Thorny Devil
Tunnel Gorge
Winjana Gorge

    I really liked Tunnel, Jasper, and Winjana Gorges, helicopter flight over Bungle Bungles. A major crack in the Chinese made plastic coupling made it difficult for me to enjoy Bungle Bungles as much as I should have. I heard the Chinese made coupling may crack and was considering buying a different type before heading off. Unfortunately, I could not find one with the same distances between the bolts. Caravan park at Kununurra is worth staying at despite the risk of losing your vehicle.
