Back to Kununurra

We’ve returned to Kununurra to talk with KAI about the truck. They have only just taken over the Iveco agency and haven’t actually had any vehicles in since the deal was struck. They are still in the process of setting up the computer communication system that is required to service these vehicles, and it s not going well.
Until its sorted, we will stay around the area. It’s looking like it could be a couple of weeks. There is plenty to see so we are ok with that.

Last night we found a gravel pit on the outskirts of town and stayed the night there. We thought it could be the perfect spot to stay each night, but the ranger turned up this morning as we were having coffee and kindly explained that there is a $100 fine for staying anywhere in the East Kimberley other than Caravan Parks. Whoops!!!!
He didn’t fine us and suggested we go 40 Kilometres out to the nearest allowed free camp spot. We will have to rethink our options, such as find a nice little spot where they can’t find us. He he - naughty I know.

I got a quote for fixing the shattered ipad from apple today. $450. It would all be done by mail. We had been told to try “Russell” at East Kimberley Computers. After chatting with him, he said he can fix itf or $250. He has done a few already but needs about two weeks to order in the new screen etc. It will void the warranty but what the heck, its a hell of a lot cheaper.

Well its now 6.30pm and we have found a nice spot well away from town down a dirt track ending on the banks of the Ord River.Read more
