For the last few week’s I’ve been using AllTrails to look at walk details and see which ones we’ll do. There have been consistently useful reviews from a couple who are doing a similar trip to ours (@joniquelife). We ran into them at the pool yesterday, which was kind of funny, and today we’re meeting up for a short walk to a view above the caravan park.
What’s fun about walking with other people is seeing things through their eyes. They’re happier to go off trail and explore, which is pretty fun, especially when the best view of the dam wall is a little further along the a ridge. So we clamber a little way out on the ridge and enjoy both their company and the subsequent view.
After getting back to the site (and a tour of their seriously impressively ordered/clean caravan!) we drive into Kununurra.
In Kununurra we check out the chicken shop (as per Jono/Monique’s recommendation) but unfortunately it’s closed. Then we head into the gallery at the Waringarri Art Centre, there’s an amazing wood cut exhibition on. The works are so finely detailed it’s hard to understand how they’re carved.
We purchase a bird print (‘Dool Dool’) which caught our eye.
There’s a distillery out of town, and a sandalwood factory on the way, so we visit both before heading home.
