Kununurra – Miriam National Park

Moved on to Kununurra yesterday, the vistas from the road where impressive and ever changing as we weaved our way through the scattered ranges. And of course the colours are impressive. Toward the end of the drive you come into the broad, green and flat valley of the Ord River, just across the river is the airfield on the edge of the township of Kununurra.

This morning was mainly a rest day, spent the morning at the local park based market, then domestic chores like washing and cleaning. Staying at Kimberlyland Caravan Park, nicely situated on the lake (actually the Ord river which is more like a lake near the town), nice clean facilities. Town has a reasonable size shopping centre, good range of services in the light industrial area, and unlike Broome is not overwhelmed by tourist facilities.

Toward the end of the day took a drive to the eastern edge of town and the Miriam National Park, contains a gorge that you drive into and then walk, or rather climb, up to the ramparts to look back over the town. Very picturesque.
