Photos...Kununurra to the end of the Kimberleys


The biggest Boab tree in captivity (not sure what it was running from before it was caught)..in Wyndham.


The boys enjoying an ice cream at Kununurra..this was the day we got ready for the Kimberleys.


The Bungle Bungles at sunset...taken from our walk to Cathedral Gorge.  These domes were everywhere and quite spectacular.


Having crossed the Pentacost River (en route to Home Valley) with the sun setting behind on the Cockburn Ranges.


Next stope Drysdale Station...what you see is what we got...nothing but dry!


Little Mertens Falls on the walk to Mitchell Falls....our first experience of swimming in the crystal clear pools below the Kimberley's many gorges.


The top tier of Mitchell Falls, an 80m drop to the bottom of the 4 tiers but shows the size of it and how close we were to the edge.


We got a "Whocker Whocker" out of Mitchell Falls which Lachie was pretty happy about.  The helicopter had no doors on it so we put Alex in the front where there was a door and Lachie between us to make sure he didn't fall out.


King Edward River...The kids first experience of roasting marshmallows...we went through a whole packet, needless to say they were a hit!


Sunrise at King Edward River...this is where we swam each day in the fresh water.


Manning Falls...the best spot we swam.  The rock ledge we sat on was on the left up behind the falls.


Grevillea Gorge...part of it was a ladder down the gorge wall and then a scramble down the falls themselves.


The steep gorge walls rose straight up from the water below the falls in Grevilla Gorge.


Lunch at Bell Gorge.


Walking in Windjana Gorge...we saw 35 freshwater crocs further up the gorge.


The entrance to Tunnel Creek...I would show you a photo of inside but it would have been a black square!
