Cape Leveque

We are now in Cape Leveque, we have now been here for four nights and have only tonight left. On the way we stoped at Beagle Bay Church. We have been staying in a beach shelter which is metres from the beach (no stingers or crocs!) we went to the hatchery today and got to pat some green sea turtles and feed some barra. The beach is really pretty here, the water is a great colour and it is very clear (good for snorkeling) and the weather is perfect. The boys have been fishing nearly everyday, have caught some fish. Dad is always looking for more tips. The sunsets are really great and the sun rises and sets over the beaches! Mum says the coffee is excellent. Its a very peaceful place.

Cable Beach Sunset

We have now been at Broome for 3 nights and we have one more night left. The first day we were here we went to Grandma and Grandpa's hotel and then had a look around Broome and the boys searched for a good fishing spot. That night we went to a Chinese restaurant called Wings. On Sunday we went to church, the the boys went fishing and caught 34 fish all had to be thrown back because they were too small while Grandma, Claire and Vicki went to the markets. That night we had a picnic on Cable beach and watched the sun go down. Yesterday morning we went to see if we could see the dinosaur footprints, we saw some but the tide covered some of them after that Grandma, Vicki and Claire went shopping while the boys went to the museum. For lunch we went to an Egyptian Kebab house. We then went for a swim at the beach. For tea we went for Chinese again, this time at Tongs.

Tomorrow we are taking just the tent and driving up to Cape Levique, we won't have internet access there (no blog for a few days) and we will be staying in a beach shelter and tent.

Bungle Bungles

After El Questro we went to the Bungle Bungles! We left the caravan at Warmun, taking just the tent we drove down the roughest, bumpiest, boggiest dirt road we had ever been on and arrived at dusk at the camp site (no showers and a long drop for the toilet!) The next day we went for some walks, the best being Cathedral Gorge which was really pretty. Then seeming it was so hot sat around the campsite after lunch. At around 4:30 we went for a drive to look at the sunset. Then by 6:30 WA time we were packed up and driving back down the wild dirt road lucky we made it through the worst of the bog...

We are now at Fitzroy Crossing and tomorrow night we will be at Broome

and will hopefully see Grandma and Grandpa there.



El Questro

While we were at Kununurra we stayed at Lakeside Caravan Park we had a pretty good view. We left our caravan at Zebra Rock for three nights and went and explored El Questro! We went to Zebedee Springs, the water was really warm! We went to Emma Gorge which was so amazing at the end there was a waterfall that we swam to! We also walked through Amalia Gorge which was really pretty.

Next stop Bungle Bungles

Katherine to Kununurra

We are now in Kununurra, WA! Last night we stayed at Lake Argyle then the night before that Big Horse Creek (close to Timber Creek) and before that we stayed two nights at Katherine.

While we were at Katherine we went on a four hour river cruise down the Katherine Gorge.

Southern Falls, where we had a swim.

There were thousands of bats in the trees and on the banks below

were fresh water crocodiles.

We spent a lot of time in the caravan parks pool.

Lake Argyle was massive! While we were there the boys went fishing,

  they each caught a few fish, that night we ate Edward's fish for tea.

The fish we ate possibly a sooty grunter?
