Wyndham... Five River Confluence

We had had a lovely surprise when we visited Wyndham... the town history and 5 Rivers Look-out was amazing



Parry's Lagoon "Resort"

Not what I would call a resort, with powered caravan spots with no shade and in a dust bowl, but ok for one night and the lagoon was good.

Bungle Bungles Day Trip

Oh, MY! What a trip! So glad we made the investment to take the flight to the Bungle Bungles, walk to Cathedral Gorge and experience the amazingness of the Bungle Bungles

Our amazing pilot talked us through the flight - 

Flying over Lake Argyle and the Diamond Mines, and the Ord River System.

Sticky got to be co-pilot on the flight out.



The Bungle Bungles were, until the 1980s, a well kept secret by the Aboriginal peoples.


Cathedral Gorge was our lunch spot.  We had a superb guide, Wally, who told us about the bush tucker; the medicinal trees and shrubs and the spiritual nature of the Bungle Bungles



Guess who got to be co-pilot on the way home???

Lake Argyle

A couple of nights at Lake Argyle - exporing the area, taking a 4wd drive, and relazing.




Lake Argyle was beautiful and restful. The Infinity Pool was feezing. Apparently!

Saddle Creek. Last night in NT

Fabulous free campsite. (Toilets were ... not a pretty sight though) ... because we were crossing the border the next day we had to eat as much of our veges, honey and fruit as we could. Sunset was magnificent. 

On Our Way to WA

Timber Creek to WA border. Drove (with vannie) up to the lookout just west of Timber Creek. Learned about the Nackeroos ... during WWII, soldiers commissioned to keep the NT protected. Tremendously tough gig.

Stunning outlook.

Bradshaws Bridge over the Victoria River... no crocs to be seen

Lucy is such a cool dude.🐾🐾🐾

Baobabs. I LOVE Baobabs
More baobabs... littler ones πŸ™‚
