Kununurra - Bedlam, Bungles, Bats,

So we finished the Gibb and apart from one dodgy tyre and half of the dust of the Kimberly in the car and camper we made it unscathed. It was on to Kununurra for a little relaxing and a hell of a lot of washing. So after changing Kimberly dirt into Kimberly mud in the washing machines we decided to do a flight over the Bungle Bungles for a look and we had to get out of the van park for a while after having all the space we wanted it was a shock to come back to the bedlam of a packed in on top of each other caravan park in school holidays to boot.

We wanted the 9am flight we got the 6am flight so with alarms set for 04:40am off to bed we went and were awoken at some ungodly hour of the morning or still night for our flight. So after a quick trip to the airport, a weigh in and briefing I then went from nervous as I had never been weighed before aflight before to even more nervous when Gen won the toss and was put up the front of the plane in the Copilots chair. It all worked out and the views were fantastic see below

As well as the Bungles they also teased us by flying over the Argyle Diamond mine. The worlds largest producer of a girls best friend

To celebrate our last night and our last sunset in Western Australia for a while we went down to the river with a bottle of white to watch the view, and yes those black things are some of the million bats that we saw
