Day 1 - Great Northern Highway

Kununurra was a great place but it was time to head towards the West Kimberly’s on the Great Northern Highway! No phone reception/internet. Destination Broome 1042km We teamed up with the Beast and made our way out towards the dam. We stopped after 265km at Leycester’s Rest Stop beside the Ord river.
What a treat Leycester was! We were the only people here! The Ord river ran at the back of our camp and the water was as warm as bath water, a light breeze blew cooling the air so it could rude not to spend the afternoon in the water! Armed and dangerous with the Yeti the guys carried it down to the river. Billy jumped straight in and as the afternoon went on and with the help of Vincent and Jane, Billy finally swam, everyone cheering, he took the plunge a few times even with a dive at one point!
The sun started to set with a storm in the distance while we sat under the picnic shelter complete with the entire world of bugs!Read more
