The Bungle Bungle....Purnululu National Park

It took us 2hrs to drive the 56km track into Purnulul National Park.  The road itself was in pretty good condition but its narrow, windy and hilly with lots of creek crossings....actually we counted 20!

Who said shopping isn't interesting! Due to our lack of food situation, we decided when we got to El Questro we would take the hour plus trip into Kununurra to stock up.  Little did I know our trip back would be more exciting than expected!

Ellanbrae and Home Valley stations

After packing up our King Edward River camp, we had an early morning swim in the river before making our way back to Drysdale Station, timing it perfectly for one last hamburger lunch.  Our friends Tex and Julie spotted us coming in the station gates, they had been camping there for a few days waiting on a spare part for their camper, so they joined us for lunch too. It was great to catch up as we had lost contact and weren't sure if we'd see them again.

My introduction to Marine Biology!.... by Hannah

How is it that half way through the Gibb River Road in WA that I got introduced to Marine Biology?  Well it all started at King Edward River on the Mitchell Plateau.

Kalumburu road to Mitchell falls....OPEN!

The Mitchell Plateau was always going to be one of those destinations we hoped we could do but going early in the season after such a big 'wet', we weren't sure if the road would be open.  Its an approximate 12h rtn side trip off the Gibb River Road heading North, the main attraction being the famous 4 tier Mitchell Falls. We knew the falls would be at their best after such a huge wet season, so when we found out it had just opened we were really excited!
