Ok, been up at the Kimberley's at a place called Kununurra in Northern Western Australia doing some work and took the DJI Phantom with me, when I had a bit of time took the Phantom out to show the sites around the place.

Weather wasn't overly kind but got as much footage I could of this beautiful place on the edge of the Kimberley. The compass played up a bit on the Phantom, may have something to do with the soil as it is a known area for Iron Ore.. maybe... that's my theory so didn't seem to get the smooth footage I was after as I do not use post stabilisation in my videos ... maybe I should but I like to give as much raw footage as I can. Some may say learn to fly better ... well ... I'm trying :)

Kununurra Diversion Dam: The construction of the Ord River Diversion Dam started in late 1960 and was officially opened in July 1963 by then Prime Minister, Robert Menzies. The Ord River Diversion Dam holds back Lake Kununurra, which gravity feeds the Ord River Irrigation Area.

The main Ord River Dam, known locally as "Top Dam" holds back the waters of the Ord River in Lake Argyle. The Ord scheme created Lake Argyle, which is Australia's largest dam, covering an area of 741 km.

The Pump House Restaurant is situated on the edge of the Ord River, in the booming and rapidly expanding town of Kununurra. The owners have converted the original Pump Station, constructed in 1961, into a restaurant, paying particular attention to the preservation of its historical integrity. Had a lovely meal there in the restaurant and had the local fresh water crocodile keeping an eye on the situation.

HCJB Global Australia: Had the chance to view the sites of HCJB radio ministry which spreads the gospel by shortwave radio to India and now with the completed 120 metre parabolic antenna to the Asia Pacific region.
