Katherine Hot Springs
After a swim in the hot springs we packed up camp and set off for Kununurra which is the last town before we embark on the (in)famous Gibb River Road for the remainder of our journey. This was one of the longer drives of our trip at 5 hours but it didn't get boring which I found surprising. The road was pretty barren but we did stop for lunch at a roadhouse approx half way between the two to stretch our legs. We also had to cross the border into W.A. and we got busted with a secret stash of fruit in the car. I did the usual blame the missus approach and got us off the hook althought they took a crapload of our food and made us completely unpack the car. First stop at Kununurra was a small national park called Hidden Valley. It was late afternoon when we arrived and the place had a fairly creepy feel about it. These weird rock formations with tracks around them and a lookout at the top.

We spent the night in another caravan park and had dinner at their local restaurant (which was surprisingly good). Not quite sure what we were going to experience on the Gibb River Road we thought we would make the most of civilisation for the last time. The town pretty much had one pub, it was fairly large and we went to watch the Knights game playing and realised 2 things about W.A. They all worship AFL over there and the pubs do not have poker machines!
