The drive was very scenic. We had a picnic at the Gregory national park, which was nice but hot!(40C +).
We stayed at Timber creek, which was just before the border. We had to make sure we didn't carry anymore fruits, vegetables, honey and nuts.
Although we had a big fruit salad for breakfast, we still had a few vegetables so I found it handy that the lady at the croc tour booking office next to the caravan park was taking fruits and vegetables donations.
She was giving them to families in need.
The tiny Timber creek caravan park actually had a popular tourist attraction: crocodile feeding at 5pm!
All crocs were small freshwater crocs and there were quite a few of them. The lady from the caravan park was holding a stick that had a line with a piece of meat at the end. Somehow I thought she would just thow the meat in the water.
So everyone who wanted could have a go at feeding them. I will never forget this snap sound when their mouth snapped the meat!
Quite loud! I think we now have a bit more respect for the freshies.
We crossed the border without trouble. Luckily I didn't forget any fruits or vegetables in the caravan. Phew!
Our first outing from Kununurra was the lake Argyle, apparently 54 times the size of Sydney harbour!
We didn't go on a cruise but went to the lookout and had a lovely picnic by the Ord river.
We also had a look at the Ivanhoe crossing where at a certain time of the year you can see crocodiles feeding on the many barramundis that migrate downstream. Must be impressive to see!
We left our caravan in storage for 3 nights at the zebra rock gallery as we were planning to visit the east Kimberleys.
