Kununura in the Kimberly

Kununura

We were warned that it could be hard to get into a caravan park here so when we got to the Lakeview Caravan Park we still had to wait in the queue for a site. 2 hours later we were all set up in a powered site, which means we also have access to the Internet, we have been out of range of mobile reception for a few days. 

 

We were led to believe that this was a ‘food bowl’ growing area, as it is supplied with water from Lake Argyle, but not so. Some fruit such as Melon and others are grown, but mostly Sandalwood.  It is a nice little town.

 The plan was to stop at the Bungle Bungles but when we got there no sites were available and it would be a further two hours drive in, on a very rough road and then back to the camp site, so the decision was to give it a miss. 

The temperature was 36deg. Had we got there around 8am we would probably have done it, but it was the middle of the day, so too late to drive in and out again in the same day!

We have been told it is a magnificent place to see.  Oh well, maybe next time!!

Halls Creek now what can I say about this place? It is an old mining town with the basic necessities and a caravan park which also had a swimming pool!! Now that was a plus as it was a very hot day.

So once the Caravans were set-up we enjoyed a cool-off in the pool. 

 I spoke to a couple with three children who were parked next to us, they had two toddlers and a baby 3-4 months old and she told me they had to be back in Perth by Sunday, now this was on the Wednesday…so they had 4 days to travel approx 2500 klms!! She said they would do it!!!!
