We started our day with the helicopter ride. We were able to get a “ bargain price” due to the fact that there were 5 of us that wanted to go. We had 18 minutes of joy as we zipped over the famous falls and the surrounding areas. I loved the ride despite the factContinue reading “4/7 Mitchell Falls”

3/7/21 Drysdale River Station to Mitchell Falls
We have been exceptionally fortunate with our timing so far and it seems that once again luck has held in relation to this. Word at Drysdale River campground was that the road in to Mitchell Falls had been recently graded. We grabbed hot showers, boiled the billy and had breakfast and were heading on upContinue reading “3/7/21 Drysdale River Station to Mitchell Falls”
2/7/21 Ellenbrae to Drysdale River.
Today we started our day with a walk across to the Ringers campground from our Jackeroos camp, so that we could have a look at the swimming hole there. The others went for a swim there but we decided not to. We did have a good look at the lovely shaded area for meals andContinue reading “2/7/21 Ellenbrae to Drysdale River.”
1/7/21 (day 21) El Questro to Ellenbrae Station.
We started our day with the activities at El Questro which we had booked. Ev and Craig went off to ride horses at 7 am and the rest of us tootled down to “the jetty” to catch the Chamberlain Gorge cruise at 9:30. The cruise was informative and beautiful-a totally different experience from the waterContinue reading “1/7/21 (day 21) El Questro to Ellenbrae Station.”
28/6/21 The Gibb River Road
Today we finally made it to the Gibb River Road (the central goal of this big WA Wander) After a morning of packing up, filling gas, final shopping and another photo of a croc at the caravan park (now sunning on a log) we made a final stop at the petrol station to fill ourContinue reading “28/6/21 The Gibb River Road”
Sunday 27th June -Kununurra and Lake Argyle.
Our touring started today with a drive out Ivanhoe road. We took a left turn and headed out past similar plots of mixed trees that we had seen when we went out to the Hoochery the other day. We stopped in to see the carved rock ( zebra rock primarily) and asked the lady inContinue reading “Sunday 27th June -Kununurra and Lake Argyle.”
26/6/21 Rum, views, bowerbirds and a fond farewell
The days start early in the caravan park the sun is getting up,and so are the travellers, who have places to be. The couple beside us wanted to be at El Questro (100 km away) so of course they had to be up making a lot of noise by 5:45. Hence we were also wideContinue reading “26/6/21 Rum, views, bowerbirds and a fond farewell”
25/6/21 Out of the Bungles
Before we left there were just a couple more things we needed to do, so after the pack up we walked off from our campground on the little loop walk that Ev had recommended. We were really glad that we did. It was surprising how much could be seen and learnt from the signs inContinue reading “25/6/21 Out of the Bungles”
24/6/21 Echidna Chasm and Mini Palms
While Al and Zita went out to ride in a helicopter ( after flat battery and jump start) we headed out to Echidna Chasm. Word is you should be here in the middle of the day, but everyone aims for that, so we decided to enjoy less crowd and cooler weather and be there beforeContinue reading “24/6/21 Echidna Chasm and Mini Palms”
23/6/21- Domes at the Bungles
Today we had a very early morning as our neighbours headed out early to see the sunrise. They drove out at 5:20am. They were back again by about 7:30 starting to pack up. It was Craig’s birthday so we had an early gift giving ( once we found the gift and card) before we startedContinue reading “23/6/21- Domes at the Bungles”
