We packed up and left the amazing
Lake Argyle this morning, bound for a town with phone and internet reception
once more. We were booked into
Kimberleyland, Kununurra to meet up with Sean, Liz, Matt and Olivia Harris
(friends from back in NSW) as they were meeting up with us to see the
Kimberleys and travel the Gibb River Road across to Broome. We set up camp right next to the pool,
perfect for watching the kids. They
spent nearly all day in the pool while we caught up with phone calls, etc. Surprisingly it was fairly early that the
Harris family arrived. They have been towing
their van up to here for the past 6 days straight to get here and I’m sure felt
relieved to have finally made it – now for a drink!
Our Saturday in Kununurra was
lazy, trying to arrange some dates over the next three weeks, which is a bit of
a hard task when we don’t really know what lies ahead. We took Olivia with us and headed into town
to do a bit of shopping, first was the butcher.
Followed by Target as the kids had been nagging for a Furby for ages and
the toy sales had begun at Target. There
were three left on the shelf and Sami and Olivia grabbed one each but Zoe
wasn’t happy with the grey one that remained so simply went without, hoping
that we could maybe buy one online. We
continued on with our grocery shopping at Coles, loading the trolley right up
in anticipation for the GRR. This
afternoon we went for a drive to Ivanhoe Crossing and the water was flowing really
quickly. Afterwards, we spent a bit of
time at the Hoochery which is the local rum factory. The shots we tried were pretty good. Upon leaving there, it was nearly sunset and
we tried to find the local lookout to view the sun going down. We ended up making a wrong turn and only just
made the end of the sunset. We headed
back to the van and noticed a local AFL game on so stopped at the ground to
watch a few of the aboriginal teams playing before going home for a quiet
night.
