Dampier Penninsula / Middle Lagoon / Cape Leveque



The Dampier Penninsula North of Broome has to be one of our favorites so far. All accommadation and tours are run by the local aboriginal communities. One the most beautiful places on earth along with the people must be Middle Lagoon which is about 150km north of Broome on a fairly rough 4wd track.

Bell gorge





 Yes thats me in Murrays shirt being sun smart. Its been hard to get shirts that are sun smart so Ive resorted to this.


Another day in paradise.


And who would have thought! Murray relaxing.
There are so many beautiful places in the Kimberley.

A Blast form the past.


Hows this for a small world. Chatting in the pool at Home Valley Station to a family that were parked next to us. Mentioned that I grew up in Victoria and this guy says "where abouts" After telling him it was Kerang he says Is your name Donna? Not Donna Beatty? Yep, hadnt seen him for 30 years. Trevor Southern for those of yo who are reading this from kerang. The best part is he said you havnt changed a bit. "gotta love that at 45. lol We spent the next couple days with them and we all got on famously. They were from Cairns.

Home Valley




We stayed 3 days at Home Valley station which is a working cattle station in the Kimberley.

Wyndham

 Look at what happens when you hit a rock on the Gibb RR and your tyres are hot hot hot.
Fortunately Murray as you would expect had the job done in no time so we wernt left standing in the too long.

 We had a great day in Wyndham. There are some pics of the kids with some of the locals having some carvings done on boab nuts.these people are incredibly talented w ith thier art. Even murray is enjoying the cultural experience.


Thr beginning of the Gibb. It ws only 10minutes later that we did the tyre, this made us rather nervous but as it turns out the road was fine, we have done some real shockers of roads and this wasnt one of them.
