Day 31: Tunnel Creek. Today we are going down the road to Tunnel Ck, and we need our swimmers and torches...we are excited! The rain seems to be staying away for now, so we clamber over massive boulders to access the tunnel in. Well it's amazing. A real adventure and and by far the most exciting gorge walk we have done. And the boys are in their element. We wade through dark, cold waters under torch light, enjoying spectacles such as bats and stalagmites. Suc...

Day 30: Windjana Gorge. After mucking around trying to find somewhere to store our van, we store it at the very place we were staying at! So we head off up the Gibb River Rd and to our surprise it's in great condition. So fortunately there are no issues. We arrive at Windjana Gorge and set up camp with Bruce and Annie. We are in the two tents again, bush camping. It's a great spot and it's lovely to spend this time with our friends. The boys, and Craig and ...

Day 29: We leave the Fitzroy River, slowly, with the caravan intact! It was a tad touch and go, but she made it out. We arrive in Derby quite early, so we set up the van, and then head to the main attractions in town. We visit an old gaol that was built specifically for housing Aboriginals awaiting trial, and read of the horrors they went through at the hands of white people...very moving. A good learning opportunity for the older boys as well, especially as th...

Day 28: It's Mothers Day. What a way to spend it! With my family, in beautiful surrounds in the Kimberley. Excellent. A nice bush shower after a warm night, starts the day off well. A bit of morning fishing...with no success...and a chat to my parents before they head off on their trip on the Trans-Siberian Railway. We take the kids fishing further up the Fitzroy River and Riley lands a nice eating-size Mangrove Jack. It is much cooler today (around 35•C), w...

Day 27: We leave Broome with some great memories, but I'm not sure I'd rush back here as the grey nomads do. But each to their own. We are traveling to a little-known camp/fishing spot, 5kms west of Willare Roadhouse, which is on the way to Derby. Our friends, Bruce and Annie, are with us, as they are heading to Derby and then onto the Gibb River Road. So we turn off the highway and the van has the opportunity to enjoy a couple of kilometers of dirt. And she's ...
