Best wishes to our youngest and her husband as they begin the next phase of their life.

Yesterday, after I had done my blogging, Himself went down to the creek behind the caravan park at 5pm when the park people feed the local crocs. He got to offer the two visible crocs a slab of steak attached to a flexible hook. Who is a lucky lad? Hand feeding crocs now! I was not in attendance so no pictorial proof. What a shame.
Today we moved to Kununurra. Nice easy trip of only 225kms, broken by a mandatory stop at the border check point. They are really sweet out there. Twice now we have come through this check point and the first thing they do is write down your vehicle rego, and twice now as soon as they see that WA number plate they say "Welcome Home". One wonders if they welcome others to the state and encourage them to enjoy their visit,  but when you have been wandering in the wilderness being told welcome home is a bit like that moment you get onto the Qantas jet on the return trip to Oz, feels like you are home already!
We have parked up at the Kununurra showgrounds, nice quiet site that only takes big rigs and those with pets that cannot go to the non pet caravan parks in town. We are parked under lots of shady trees which is good as the weather is around 34c.
Went down town and got the printed info on all the tours available here. As I said to Himself one is only limited by the size of the bank account when choosing tours to do.  We are looking at a flight to the Bungle Bungles and I would like to do the Argyle Diamond Mine Tour.......sigh, its not high on his list......lol.
Himself wants to go fishing for the barramundi on the Ord River, not high on my list....lol.
Perhaps we will do another trip out to the hoochery too. We also want to do a day trip to Wyndham. They say there is not much to see there except the five rivers lookout. Sounds good to us!
Stay tuned, the end result may be interesting!
