THE BUNGLE BUNGLES

I hope you get an idea from these pictures how vast everything is up here. The first picture is of one of the homesteads, as you can see it is totally by itself. You can't pop out to the local shops if you have forgotten the milk ( maybe fly out).
We decided to do this flight over because we couldn't take the van in , the roads are 4 wheel drive only and the roads in are very limited.

It takes 2.5 hours to drive the 50k road in.

I think also when you are in the air you get more of any idea how large they are.

I would recomend if you are this area that this flight is a must see thing to do! It cost $265 each for the 2 hour flight.

We where going to do a flight from Derby over the horizontal falls and up over Cape Laveque on a sea plane but these flights are booked weeks in advance. That flight takes over 4 hours and cost $700, can you imagine feeling sick for that lenght of time.

LAKE ARGYLE

These are just a couple of the photo's that we took of the lake, its massive, it took about 15 mins just to fly over it and it holds as much water as 23 sydney harbour's.

If you look at the second picture it actually looks like a crocodile.

The flight took 2 hours, it was a very small plane, only 6 passengers, and guess what i flelt sick most of the way, I'm glad we did it but if we are taking anymore flights I am going to get some travel sickness tablets. (thankgod the flight was only 2 hours)

We are planning to go to the caravan park at Lake Argyle, its it right by the Ord river Dam. We have heard that it is worth going to see and spend the night. Then we will be crossing over to the NT, its only took us 5 /6 months to get this far.

HEADING NORTH

This is a sign that we are seeing all the time now because we are heading towards the northern Territory.

Visted Derby, Wyndam and all the little towns inbetween and we are now in Kununarra, the picture below is a Brumby, we haven't seen that much wildlife. Plenty of birds, cows and plenty of hawks and eagles.

Going for a flight tomorrow over the Bungle Bungles and Lake Argyle so we should have some good photo's to come.

MARY'S POOL

This is one of the free camps that you come across when travelling around. You get to meet some nice people, we stayed at this spot for three days.

We where parked up was right next to the river, it was a busy spot and there could be up to 100 vans in this camp.

Another group of friends , more happy hours and of course the camp fire, most people are travelling south slowly whilst we are heading north.

BROOME

Well we couldn't come all this way and not see Broome, its a lovely beach, great for swimming and the weather is great in the winter.

It was very busy because we came here and it was school holidays, would I recommend it, if you like the beach and not much else.

I can see why people come here in the winter because the weather is a lovely temperature getting away from the cold.

The last picture is the best that we could get of the stairway to the moon, although it wasn't as good as it could have been because of the clouds, we where lucky to be in Broome when this was on. It only happens in the winter months for a few days each month.

BARN HILL

This was a spot that we stayed before Broome, right on the beach.

We met up with a good group of people and happy hour usually continued well into the evening untill the light had disappeared.

We have some more photo's of the beach but they have not been downloaded yet so will post them next time.

STURT DESERT PEA

We came across these flowers to the way up from Karajini towards Port Headland, they are such a pretty flower and are everywhere arpund this area.
