Kununurra

Tuesday, May 26

A day in Kununurra so we loaded up the Prado and headed to see the sites. First a quick visit to an internet café then off to the diversion dam. Steve being a keen barra fisherman was toey all the way along this waterway and although we didn’t wet a line no doubt he’ll have his rod on his next visit.

Ivanhoe crossing is another popular fishing spot and, indeed, our neighbours at the van park, visited this crossing on Wednesday and proudly flaunted photos of an excellent fish to anyone in the van park who was awake at the time.

We then toured the agricultural region of Kununurra and were amazed at the diversity of produce produced in this region. On the way back into town, we stopped at the Hoochery Distillery where Steve and I sampled several brews before making our selections. Both Steve and myself selected the Kentucky Mash whiskey.

As a treat, Steve had offered to shout dinner at the Pump House Restaurant located conveniently at the end of the road where we were staying. An easy walk there and back but not before another Lake Kununurra sunset.
