Wyndham Day trip Good Friday April 2011

  As our time in Kununurra had been extended while waiting for mail we decided that a day trip to Wyndham would be a better option than moving there for a day or so. On the way we stopped at the Grotto and Mike and Kerry walked to the bottom but as Lynn is still having trouble with his knees we opted to walk around the top.

 At Wyndham  we were greeted by the "Big Croc" which was built about 20 years ago and sits near the entrance to the town in a lovely park.

 We made the Five Rivers Lookout our next stop  where we got wonderful views out over the gulf . There was lots of water but we weren't sure if it was flooding or high tide.

 Once back in town we found a cheap source of fuel as the local service station had diesel at 20cents cheaper than Kununurra and Mike found some nice barra.

 We then explored the Wharf area and visited the "big boab" before picking up the Barra and heading back to Kununurra.

On our way back we decided to visit Parry Creek Farm . The road was very rough and boggy in places and the managers were waiting for the road to be graded so that access for tourists would be improved . We had a lovely time wandering around the elevated walkways alongside the creek with lots of bird life and even a small freshwater croc. We finished off our visit with ???? you guessed it a Mango smoothie which we had  in the shade on the upper deck looking out over the billabong.
