7th September
We have spent the last 2 nights in Kununurra making the most of ‘civilisation’. We head off on the Gibb River Road today for the next 2 weeks and will have no (or very limited) phone and internet reception, no supermarkets and increasingly spread out and expensive refuelling opportunities.
The caravan park stayed at was right on the lake, so when we weren’t running around town, we had a nice place to sit. And the sunsets were stunning too.
We have stocked up on groceries, booze, diesel and a few hardware items. The boys have had WiFi withdrawals, after not having it since leaving Darwin, so they spent most of the 2 days sitting around the pool on their iPads using the free WiFi. And I’ve been catching up on my Blog (which I can only update when we have Internet), paying bills and making phone calls home.
We are looking forward to doing the Gibb River Road. It is meant to be one of the most stunning, but most challenging 4WD roads in the country. We hope that the scenery out-ways the terrible road conditions that we will face along the way.
