Kununurra
15 de mayo, Australia ⋅ 🌙 28 °C
Well, I started the morning with a 7am yoga class overlooking the infinity pool. It was great!
Later, we drove out to the Durack museum and the old homestead, which was moved stone by stone as they flooded the area to make the fabulous Lake Argyle. An amazing feat of engineering, which is around 16 times the size of Sydney Harbour. The homestead and museum are really worth a look, and there have been many improvements since we last saw it. After we drove across the dam wall, to get some good photos. Saw the Ord River Hydro powered scheme and am so amazed at the force of water going through.
Back to the park for our last swim here. The caravan park is really nice. New ablution block all with ensuite style toilets and showers.
On Thursday morning, we drove 70km to Kununurra. We were a bit too early to get into the caravan park, so we went straight to the supermarket (Coles) and did a shop. After that, we settled into the Kimberlyland caravan park. It's a lovely park alongside the lake.
We had a swim in the pool as it is very hot atm. The water is a good temperature and very refreshing!
That night, we had arranged for friends Pauline and Doug (for those who know them) to join us for a BBQ, and it was so nice to catch up with familiar faces. We had a lovely night sitting outside. Perfect temperature. They are staying with friends in Kununurra and are here for the Ord River Muster as we are. We have booked the main event on Saturday night, which features " The Rogue Traders" ( Natalie Bassingwaite),
"Screaming Jets" and a couple more entertainers.
On Wednesday night, we're going to a comedy show featuring among other comedians, Jim Oin.
Today was spent familiarising
ourselves with town and visiting the "Ivanhoe Crossing," which was really flowing fast. Too fast to cross!
We're here for 11 nights, so posts will be infrequent. Looks like I'm going to be busy haircutting as the only hairdresser in town is booked out for six months, and the barber can't cope either! A local put a note in the laundry for a travelling hairdresser in the park. I gave her a call, and she has 6 haircuts lined up for me tomorrow!
Take care everybody! Ciao for now.Leer más
