Kununurra, Molly Springs, Emma Gorge

Funny! We only had that one cold night when we were at "The Comedy Night," and since then, it's been quite warm at night. Just a sheet on with the fan going.
On Saturday night, Doug and Pauline invited us to dinner at the place they were staying just a few km out of Kununurra. It's a nice property, very peaceful, and we had a lovely dinner (Coral Trout) . I took the wrong turn to head home, and we ended up on somebody's property. ( he didn't seem amused when he came out with the big dog to see who was trespassing) We got home eventually!
Sunday was spent packing up and last-minute washing, etc.
Sadly, we watched the Eagles' disastrous performance & then turned TV off during the last quarter.
We were up early this morning and on the road by 7am. Drove the 30km to Molly's Spring to have a look, as we loved it last time we were there.
The 3km track in to Molly Sring was so rough!!! We couldn't remember it being so bad last time, and this time, we had the van on. WRONG!!! Never mind, fortunately, no damage. I had a dunk there as it was quite warm. Very pretty place with plenty of water flowing.
Then it was on to Emma Gorge, about 30km to the Resort along the Gibb River Rd, and with about 4 water crossings ( not deep) to get there and then to have a great coffee and muffin! ( energy for the long walk-into the Gorge).
It took us an hour to walk in (3.5 km return walk). It was hard walking over rocks and big bolders, but it was so worth it. I really had to watch that my ankle and knee were aligned as I placed my feet between rocks, but all good. John just surged ahead as you would expect of him.
Once we eventually got to the Falls, we had a swim ( freezing) and then got under the warm spring, which was delightful 😊
We spent 45 mins here, before the nearly one hour return trip.
Back to the resort for a beer and burger for lunch. Took our time there and eventually left for our overnighter at Dunham River just 50km down the road. It's pretty hot now, as I write this because the breeze has dropped. 34 degrees.
Enjoy the photos. I took lots of the magnificent ranges, but the photos don't capture the sheer beauty of them!Read more
