For us, staying in Broome was mostly about relaxing after being on the road for six weeks. However we decided to do a couple of walks in the mornings before it got too hot. One morning we drove down past Broome Turf Club and had a look around Gantheaume Point before driving back to do …
Watching the sun set at Cable Beach is another Broome institution. So when in Broome .... join in. From Palm Grove Caravan Park it's only a short walk. This was a good and bad move. Good because we didn't have to find a carpark and bad because pedestrians have to be very careful dodging a …
From Derby we headed off on the 220kms drive to Broome, in particular the Broome Vacation Village Caravan Park where we would spend a couple of nights. It was a pretty straightforward drive. One thing that we did find interesting was a number of single lane bridges where you have to give way to vehicles …
Given we had been rudely awoken by the road worker crews' vehicles it was easy to have breakfast, pack up the caravan and be on the road quite early to our next destination, Derby. Much of the roadside was a blaze of yellow with many acacias in full bloom.The fingers of blossom were quite spectacular. …
Our time at the Bungle Bungles was at an end so we hooked up the caravan and were back on the road again. The first day we made a relatively short trip as far as a popular free camping area at Mary River. We arrived about lunchtime and found a good spot. After lunch we had …

Given our remote location and an even more remote destination it was an easy decision to book a 4WD trip into the Bungle Bungles rather than drive the 5o kms into the Purnululu National Park. We felt it wasn't worth risking our Hilux on a gravel road than could be mostly good but if something …
The Bungle Bungles must be as far away from where we live in Dromana as just about anywhere in Australia. So you could say it was the ultimate place for us to visit on our big caravan trip. After leaving Lake Argyle and stopping to top up supplies in Kunnanurra we arrived mid afternoon at …
As it would be a fairly hot day we decided to walk early and late and have a swim during the hottest part of the day after lunch. So off we walked up to the Lake Argyle Lookout. It wasn't a particularly long walk but the trail's surface was uneven in spots as we climbed. …
The next part of our journey involved quite a bit of driving as we headed from the little town of Jabiru in Kakadu National Park back through Katherine and along the Victoria Highway to Timber Creek and on to the Western Australian border before turning off the main road to head into Lake Argyle. Apart …
Day 29 - Darwin to Jabiru Packed up and headed to shops at Humpty Doo to stock up. Drove towards Jabiru. Stopped at Mamukala bird hide. A short walk lead us to the actual hide. Lots of information about the birds and the seasons recognised by the local indigenous people was available. Had a good …
