4/7/12 Filled up with diesel and then visited the Zebra Rock Factory
in town where we purchased a couple of specimens. On then to the
Kelly's Knob Lookout for spectacular views of Kununurra and surrounds.
After that a drive out to the Sandalwood Factory and then onto Minora
NP for a couple of scenic mountain walks to lookouts. After that we
lunched on the banks of Lake Kununurra. Drove onto to the Dunham River
Free Camp for the night.

5/7/12 Drove off towards Halls Creek, still undecided whether we would
do the Bungle Bungles thing. We had been informed back in Narmanton
that there was a bush Caravan Park off the highway and that the Park
had day trips to the Bungle Bungles for $250 per head. Found the
turnoff after first msssing it and driving an extra 20 kms.  Drove in
and booked two nights accommodation and the tour which left at 7am the
next morning.

6/7/12 Up early and after breakfast were ready to catch our 19 seater
4wd bus. There were 23 passengers and they had arranged an extra bus
to carry us all. We drove for the next two hours over atrocious roads
to the Information Centre and then onto Picannini Gorge where we had
morning tea prior to walking to the Piccanini Gorge Lookout, Cathedral
Gorge and then the dome walk. Lunch was then provided pior to another
hour's drive to Echidna Chasm where we walked the chasm for another 50
minutes. After that we had a 2.5 hour drive back to the Caravan Park
reaching that at 5.30. Diner was provided that night at 6.30 so after
a couple of beers we strolled over to join the other passengers to a
tea of Pea and Ham soup followed by Stew and rice. Back to the van for
a shower before retiring for an early night.
