With a disturbed sleep at night, I can’t wake up very well in the morning and Marjo is so sweet to make breakfast. We lazy a little and then pack up to do shopping, take in fuel and look around in Kununurra.
We stop at a zebra stone gallery and Marjo decides she doesn’t like that unique Kununurra stone but instead she gets a piece of Liesengang Weatherrock, with warm red and yellow colours. Meanwhile we enjoy the animal life around the gallery.
Then we go to a swimming beach in the Kununurra lake that forms an extension of Lake Argyle. Some Japanese tourists that happen to float there too are smitten by the dogs and have photo sessions whilst continuously repeating their names “Dotti”, “Dotti”, “Dotti”, and “Nossi”, “Nossi”, “Nossi”. Having endured that, we refused to give them our names 🙂
At the campground we forgot to fill up with fresh water so we tour town to look for a tap. We follow the two signs for “free coffee for driver” until they stop putting them up and see no free coffee or tap. Then at the sports grounds some builder is using water and we borrow his hose to fill up (his water hose).
Then we are on our way west again.
We are planning to camp near the Orb river but see a spot before that with a little water and some shade. We pull into the stop at an old river crossing and park on the road. Sooooo many flies though.
It being only 100 km south west of Kununurra the temperature is distinctly better. At night it drops to 15! degrees. Nice! At some point it is cool enough to go inside and watch some Bones on our iPads.
Oh, no turkeys in the creek though.
