2022 Kimberley Outback Adventure (Part 8)

 
All too soon it was time to say goodbye to the mob.  
We spent three weeks with them and it was sad to go.  
I got lots of hugs from Carmen-Lee.  
Paula left to start the eight hour drive to Kununurra 
(split over two days) where we would meet her the next day. 
The donga was all packed up as it was the end of Paula's contract. 
At sunset we headed up to say goodbye to 
Wilfred, the old man on the hill.

We sat around the fire thinking about our wonderful experience.
The next morning Jazzlyn  picked us up to take us to the airstrip.
Jazzlyn arrived here in Melbourne last Monday to spend 
a couple of months. It was so lovely to see her again. 
The weather has been quite chilly and Jazzlyn is freezing! 
She's just not used to this sort of weather!
Then it was time to catch the mail plane to Kununurra. 
Flying over Kandiwal Community. 
The clump of trees to the right just below the shadow is the community. 
The school is that little white building just under the trees.
 
We had about six mail stops at stations on the way.
 
  
The landscape continually changed.
 
 The novelty of going up and down started to 
wear off after the fourth stop! LOL!

Finally coming into Kununurra. 
We met up with Paula and then we all caught a flight to Darwin.
