Last day at Kununurra

Our last day at Kununurra was taken up with some housekeeping and a food stock up before heading out to Keep River NP, a remote place with no Telstra, internet or power. For some reason they have Optus, no use to us!

Hidden Valley in Mirima NP.

Before hitting the shops though Allthego went out to Mirima NP, just on the outskirts of town. Homealone stayed behind at the van. Mirima is a mini Bungle Bungles type environment with a couple of great walks among the domes. Be warned though we are getting to that part of the trip where there are lots of rocks to see over the next little while. Allthego has got less interested in regional town museums but does like rocks!

And another one….
Not many steps to get up this ladder.

One of the walks visits some Indigenous rock art overhangs. It was an interesting wander for a couple of hours.

Fish (dotty shape) artwork in overhang.
Got quite high in spots.
View down into Hidden Valley among the domes.

A great lookout too after a climb up some steps to the top of a dome structure.

On the way back to the van park there was another view of the Sleeping Buddha across the lagoon. It always looks impressive no matter the angle!

After the shopping expedition we pulled into the Visitor Information Centre to get Allthego’s ‘Did the Gibb’ swim shorts. The lady in the Centre still sold the shorts even though he told them we had not yet done the Gibb. Didn’t worry her, money was all that mattered!

Just one of the displays.

Some ice cream followed at the towns famous ice creamery. Vast array of ice cream and sorbets.

Back at the van park we got set for an early start the next morning but we got caught at the van park cafe for a coffee (tea) and toastee for breakfast.

The vehicle on the rights tows the trailer on the left.

Also had a gaze at a rather over the top vehicle set up. Keen campers one suspects and keen on a bit of fishing.

Could come back here!

It was a great spot by the Lagoon but we had to leave for Keep River NP and more rocks.
