The corellas woke us at sunrise.  While we were having our breakfast we watched two of them digging out a hole for nesting while a whole flock of corellas (obviously bachelors) screeched, clowned & flew around or settled on the branches close to the hard working couple (she obviously wanted a decent size home if he expected her to settle down with him).  All this was fun to watch but nomads must move on.  How quickly we forgot the dreadful drive in to the Bungles while we were enjoying the lovely scenery – reality hit hard driving out on that dreadful road but we survived it without any mishap (50 kms in over 2 hours).

The bitumen road was good, the scenery beautiful all the way, we were surrounded by beautiful mountain ranges, dry grass but nice green shrubs/trees & quite a lot of Boab trees.  We stopped at Turkey Creek (Warmun) to have lunch at the road house and visit a contemporary Aboriginal Art Centre.  (We did all the art shopping in Alice Springs & Sue found it hard to refrain from spending her money).

We arrived at this lovely tropical looking caravan park -The Discovery Holiday Park & once again we scored the million dollar real estate right next to Lake Kununurra.  About 8 neighbours welcomed us by bringing their chairs & nibblies for happy hour.  (Our site by the lake has been their happy hour spot until we moved in).  They were happy, nice & informative people & very quickly the conversation came to solving Australia’s problems.  I don’t know why this group of people aren’t in Parliament, they are all retired & could be volunteers, instead the hopeless lot we have there now.

The extra long shower was FANTASTIC.
