Day of mainly driving to Kununurra (pop 6,000) but the largest town on our trip other than Broome !

Left Bungles around 9:30am. No probs getting out on the road, some of the water crossings had dropped a bit from when we went in on Tuesday.

Quick drop into the visitor centre on arrival and checked the lookout point at the top of the hill for great view over the area.

Distance travelled : 320 kms (5 hours)

interesting blog both this and the previous Bungle Bungle blog. Sounds like you're really enjoying it and getting into camper mode! Got over long stint of exit poll yesterday, handed over to someone at around 3pm. No conclusive result to Election - I went to bed early tired after 5am. start and was glad I didn't stay up as today it looks a bit like hung parliament territory and no definite winner. Weather here very cold, windy, chilly. I worked yesterday in a t-shirt, cashmere sweater and warm woollen coat and scarf and just about warm enough!! It'll be warmer by the time you get here!!
