Kununurra Here We Come, July 24, 2013

Posted on by

We continued west along the Victoria Highway, through Timber Creek and over the mighty Victoria River which flows on out to the Timor Sea. Our early explorers from Europe would sail up as far as Timber Creek, but the river is not deep.

We also stopped at the Gregory Tree. This is an old Boab where the explorer Augustus Gregory set up camp in 1855 for a year of two. As was the trend in the day, he carved the dates into the tree. It’s also a sacred site, and well fenced off – not a great photo.
BUT – there are some good lookers nearby that I’ll treat you to. (I hugged these ones of course)

We crossed the border into Western Australia and lost all our fruit and vegetables to the quarantine man again. We stayed right on a lagoon of Lake Kununurra and a nice breeze kept the mozzies at bay.
