1,000 km later....

Due to the bush fire season hitting full speed and the wet season starting early, the drive from Broome to Kununurra passed pretty uneventfully. We drove a thousand km stopping off in a free 24 hour stopover and Halls Creek, but weren't able to go into any of the National Parks on route as they were all closed.

Kununurra was fun, there was all sorts to do. We went to Ivanhoe Crossing which is normally a road open to 4WD vehicles, but in the wet season:

No crocs spotted! We also went to a Rum distillery and a national park that was open(!) with some great mini Bungle Bungles:

We also got chatting to our neighbours on the camp site who ended up taking us to a really quiet spring in the middle of nowhere in the dead of night. They reassured us they go there every week and we ended up staying there for a few hours swimming in the cave surrounded pool and drinking beers. You might think we're crazy, but we got to bed at 3am in one piece!! Too much fun (and no photos!).
