“A good traveller has no fixed plans, and is not intent on arriving.” – Lao Tzu
Kununurra is the eastern gateway to the Kimberley and is a very long way from just about everywhere! On arrival into town, we paused for a mandatory Covid test, then headed straight to Ord Valley Delight (HipCamp) for a peaceful 3-night isolation stay.
Finally free to explore, we enjoyed losing ourselves in the vast, rugged red landscape, remarkable waterways and lush farmlands around Kununurra ... surprising & awe-inspiring!
It's easy to see why a week is not long enough with Kununurra being jam-packed with unique places to visit and things to see including -
# Hoochery Distillery is the oldest operating legal still in WA
# Kelly’s Knob with panoramic views over the town and surrounding ranges
# Ivanhoe Crossing is an iconic causeway built over the mighty Ord River
# Zebra Rock Gallery with its unique stone pieces
# Lake Argyle is a vast freshwater lake nestled amongst the rugged billion-year-old landscape
# Lake Kununurra a haven for swimmers, anglers, bird watchers and water sports enthusiasts alike
# Mirima National Park is often described as the mini-Bungles
# Ord River Diversion Dam designed to divert water from the Ord River onto the Ivanhoe Plain for irrigation
# Argyle Homestead Museum originally built in 1895 by the Durack family
# Two local secrets earmarked on WikiCamps (ssshhhh)
Time to hit the road!
