2024 Kimberley Outback Adventure (Part 3)

We spent an afternoon visiting the 

Kandiwal Community School. It was so lovely to see all 

the kids again (and meet some new ones). 

Unfortunately, my little shadow from our 2022 visit 

Carmen-Lee, was away with her family.

Sid, the chef at the lodge, was spending his week

off teaching the children to cook. 

Today was pasta day. They all did a fantastic job.

They made enough to feed the mob that night, 

along with Sid's special sauce.

Shianne, Shanita, Winston and Sid.

Scones for afternoon tea with the community and staff. 

Nelson has some very lovely workmates 

and they all made Noel and I feel part of the family.

All too soon it was time to say goodbye to Nelson. 

We spent eleven days with Nelson and it was very special

 to spend time with him at this wonderful place.

We caught the mail plane back to Kununurra.

The Wilderness Lodge from the air.

Before we left Kununurra, we went to Lake Argyle 

and did a cruise on the Ord River, finishing off at sunset.

 

Saw quite a few crocodiles.

This is called Elephant Rock. 

It is just before we got back to Kununurra.

Our friend Megan had climbed Elephant Rock and

 she filmed us coming down the river.

We then started the long drive home. 

Spent another night at Daly Waters.

Instead of driving back down the centre of Australia, 

we headed over to Queensland and came down that way.

Emus at Longreach. We only had a short stop 

here as we were on a time schedule. 

We had to get back in time for me to re-pack 

and head off on NOTYQ retreat!

We will definitely come back here as

 there is so much to see and do. 

Stopped at the Walkabout Creek Hotel. 

This is where they filmed some of Crocodile Dundee.

With Mick Dundee!

Walkabout Creek Hotel.

We came through Corowa and had a quick visit 

with Sharmayne from Country Fragrance.

After driving over 10,000kms through 6 states and 1 territory, 

we arrived back home from our road trip to the Kimberley. 

We had such a fabulous trip and it was very special 

spending time with Nelson up there. 

I hope you've enjoyed a snapshot of our trip.
