Not much to report today - it was an interesting drive (180km) with rugged escarpments to our right (north-west) for most of the trip.
When we reached the WA border, 'border guards' went through our van and car searching for fruit and vegetables - can't take any fresh fruit & vegs into WA plus a few other processed products. Brings back memories of the 'Tick Gates' at the Tweed river many years ago.
After arriving at Kununurra, we went to our Van Park - Ivanhoe Tourist Park (Big4 - we are members of Big 4 & Top Tourist so we always get a discount). It is a terrific park and we have the best, shadiest sites imaginable. Also it is so cool here - only 28 today.
We drove around the town - it is a very tidy, modern town of between 3000 & 6000 people - varies with season - very touristy with a Cairns feel.
We went to the Tourist Info Centre and booked a sunset cruise on Lake Argyle for tomorrow (half price $40 each!!!!) We also booked tickets ($102) each for the Ord River Muster concert on Saturday night - Jimmy Barnes, Vanessa Amorossi, Pigram Brothers, Alex Lloyd & more......... (part of a 10 day local festival).
Anyway, got to go and get some tea - splurging on a take-a-way as yesterday was our 31st wedding anniversary.
The sun goes down early here at about 5pm. If ringing, remember we are two hours later than you in Qld.
