• Kununurra

    23–30 maj 2024, Australien ⋅ ☀️ 30 °C

    Well, now it's Thursday, and we've been here 7 nights already. Time flies ....
    We've been doing all things Kununurra. Seen Ivanhoe Crossing, lookout from "The Knob," walked thro the "Mini Bungles" close to town.
    One day, we drove out to the "Sandlewood Factory," which, unfortunately, is closing down as is their factory in Albany. Very sad. Everything was half price so I bought a few things.
    Then it was on to "The Hoochery" for lunch & a tasting.
    Another day, we drove to the Pumphouse, and even though it's not functioning now, it has history. There is a nice restaurant there and they have pizzas at the weekend. May go there on our last night.
    The weather has cooled a bit now, around 29-30° most days and the nights much cooler.....around 14° last night. We had the quilt up for most of last night.
    The concert on Saturday was really good. " The Screaming Jets" were good, but the lead singer was pretty high on " something." Apparently, he fell over a couple of times trying out his normal antics on stage.
    Bob Evans was also very good. ( 27 Club ).
    We liked Sarah McLeod, who was also heavy rock & lead singer with " Superjesus." She's 51 years old but really good.
    The main act was " Rogue Traders " with Natalie Bassingthwaighte as lead singer. I really had no idea she was heavy rock as well!! It's not really our genre in music, but we can appreciate talented musicians. ( Thanks Will for exposing us to hard rock!!! )
    Last night, we attended " The Comedy in The Park " at the Muster, featuring Jimeoin and three other comedians. The first two we enjoyed and Jimeoin was very good. We expected a lot more expletives but he was quite tame in that regard. Very funny. 😁
    After a busy last Saturday with seven haircuts, it's been just one or two a day; perfect for me!
    I think that's about it for now. We leave here on Sunday and have a week to get to Broome. There are a couple of places we'll stop off on on the way to our first overnighter: somewhere in the great outdoors!!!
