Day 33 – Kunanurra

I woke early because of the early dawn and tried to sleep in but couldn’t. So I got up, showered and dressed, then had breakfast and chatted to those around. Lynn got up later and had breakfast, then eventually we left to go to Mirima National Park – only a few minutes out of town and billed as a “mini Bungle Bungles”. It was good, with walks and views, but no coloured layers as in the Bungle Bungles. We went back to the camp for an early lunch, then headed off to Wyndham (not Werribee, but the real Wyndham). On the way we turned off to the Grotto, which turned out to be very good as a scenic interest, but of course no water. We didn’t walk the 300 steps to the bottom, just seeing it from the top. At Wyndham we were slowed down because the town was running the annual Wyndham Cup and raceday traffic slowed everything down. We went to the Five Rivers Lookout and it was still very good. I spoke to a guide who regularly travelled the Gibb River road – no problems, but little water in the Mitchell Falls. We came back via the Black Rock Falls, variously named as the Black Rock pool. As it happens, it is both! Very impressive! After getting back to the camp via the Ivanhoe crossing, I again made contact with a Liz, who is doing a charity ride (including supporting the RFDS). I met up with her and then returned to have tea and finally get to bed after doing a lot of fluid drinking – it has been warm and humid.
