WYNDHAM
One of those places that you either love or hate. I thought it was unreal. Such an untapped spot that you wouldn’t normally go to simply because it is not on the way to anywhere; it is an absolute dead end that leads only to a gulf system that is feed by many rivers & eventually flows north into the Timor Sea via the Buccaneer Archipelago some seventy kilometres away.
FIVE RIVERS LOOKOUT
I do use the word ‘massive’ quite a bit, but as far as this place goes the word is understating the enormity of it all. The view from the Five Rivers Lookout is one to behold & gives a greater perspective on how this whole place works.
This is one of the places that I would love to return too & spend a lot more time exploring. It is one of the last great wilderness areas of mainland Australia.
RED WINGED PARROT
I the Kimberley, particularly the East Kimberley there are tens of thousands of Boab trees. They are covered in fruit that resembles a mango. I had not seen any animals eating the fruit but knew that some must so that the germination process would continue. Finally one afternoon I noticed these beautiful parrots eating away.
KIMBERLEY SUNSET
WYNDHAM AIRPORT
The surrounding landscape was quite undulating so I thought what better place to pull up for a level campsite than the local airfield. We had a nice overnight stay & the first flight of the day was around 7:30 am, not to early a wakeup call.
From here we had decided to take a treck along the famed Gibb River Road to check out a few cattle stations & stay a while in the vastness of the remote East Kimberley.
