We arrived in Kununarra to find the yearly festival on.  Lots of community things to do.  We went to the Rodeo one night, and then enjoyed the street parade the next day.  Nice caravan park on the lake (overflow dam for Lake Argyle) and quite a nice town.

We then moved onto Lake Argyle, and what a pretty place it is.  Lots and lots of water after such a dry arid few months in Western Australia.  There was a lovely infinity pool at the Caravan park over looking the lake.  Didn't find any diamonds...........................  (I looked!!!!)

We are now at Katherine and we did a walking trip into the Katherine Gorge.  Unfortunately the local 'owners' have the place sewn up - the only way to really see the place is on a rather expensive boat trip or hike for 10km.  So we did the short walk to the first lookout.  I was surprised by the number of bats in the trees along the edge of the river.  We didn't go very close to the water - croc warning signs EVERYWHERE!!  Still, very nice place with scenery found no where else.
