Day 102 - Arrival at Kununurra

20/07/11

Would have liked to stay at Lake Argyle another night but decided to move on - checked out these laovely flowerrs just near our van.. 

On the way out we visited the Durack Homestead - this family took up large tracts of land in the area (2M acres) to establish the pastoral busibess here.

This homestead was sited further down the valley but needed to be moved once the new lake was formed.  unfortunately not all of it was salvaged because the newly created lake filled 12 months ahead of scvhedule after a veru heavy weyt season in 1970.

Finally made it to Kununurra and settled into Hidden Vallry Caravan Park for the next few nights.


Was able to catch up with cousin Malcolm and Linda who have been living and working in town for the last 18 months.  Great to catch up after 9 years to find that they are now on the road full time and are well set up for it.
