Kununurra (June 2015)

In Kununurra we stop for a few days. Christel has to do some work  on her article and I take the crew fishing in the Kununurra dam. A large water hole that is part of the Ord River Scheme. Our target is catfish and we manage to hook a nice meal.
From Kununurra we take a day trip into Emma Gorge. We are by no means experienced hikers but we don’t let that stop us. The walk up the gorge to get to the pool at the top takes about an hour and a half, and involves a fair bit of climbing and stepping onto slippery rocks. It is a rewarding hike, the pool at the top of Emma Gorge is stunningly beautiful, and the water is immensely fresh.
We enjoy swimming under the dripping water from the waterfalls.
Also we packed a lunch and Jolmer has brought Coconutties so we linger at the rock pool for hours. When it is time to head back we feel fed, rested and refreshed. We should bring more water should we hike like that again. We also feel thirsty. It seems we have caught a glimpse of what the top of WA has to offer, and we are planning to come back for more.

The pizza-place in Kununurra fails to impress us.
