So now we are in Kununurra (try saying that 10 times really fast!) The drive was stunning, going from dry and dusty in the NT to beautiful and green, apart from the red hills and mountains. We had planned to just stay a few days here but ended up being just over a week. It is a great little town that we enjoyed being in. We stayed at the van park right in town, about 200m from the shops, and it was lovely and clean, with great amenities.
We visited the famous Lake Argyle, the biggest man-made lake in the Southern Hemisphere (although i would like to know where there is a bigger one). It is truly spectacular, and next time we will take a seaplane tour so we get to see all of it. Alex & I swam in the Lake Argyle pool, which we weren't really meant to do as we weren't paying guests, but when you look at the photo you will understand why we wanted to.... the pool has been specifically designed so when you take a photo from water level it almost looks like you are in the Lake!

We had a trip to the Argyle Diamond store.....WOW, i have never seen so much sparkle! Unfortunately i didn't manage to talk Antony into splurging on one, but he has promised he will one day (you can all hold him to that....and i want a pink one!!!) :)
We sampled the rum at the only legal Hoochery in WA, and coming from a drinker & a non-drinker, it is better than Bundy!
We broused and bought a few things from the Sandlewood store, which is one of the most diverse and beautiful stores i have ever been in, everything from natural make-ups and creams, to Boab chocolates and chutneys, jewellery, Zebra rocks, ornaments etc etc.
We saw hundreds of the amazing famous Boab Trees on our drives, and decided that we loved the Kimberley's, the scenery and Mountain ranges are just phenomenal. Next time we will be more off-road prepared and do the Gibb River Road...we weren't quite that adventurous this trip.
Another thing we are loving about WA.... not revolting Cane Toads! They haven't (yet) crossed the border! There are, however, numerous species of frogs and lizards.
