A Few Stops Around Kununurra

posted in: Western Australia |

Have I mentioned the boab trees lately? They are everywhere across northern WA. Some of them are huge! The caravan park we stayed at in Kununurra had a large one that was estimated to be 2,000 years old!

It was hot and windy up at … Read More

The walk takes about an hour, though I think that for once it took us less as we were motivated to get there quickly so we could get back … Read More
