It was still dark when I think all the birds turned it on in unison. We were listening in half stupor to the bird symphony when we got a rude awakening by the early bird tourists flying out to see the Bungles. Time to send off some of our blog – last night we gave up because it was loading so slowly & it was very late. We spent a couple of hours with the blog & then we went shopping to stock up for our trip across the Gibb River Road. Kununurra isn’t a very big town but it seems to have everything here – IGA & Coles super markets where we stocked up.
John was lucky he could get a wheel alignment done while Sue mucked around with the computer & did her 5 minutes of house work & they caught up with us at Coles. Our lunches were lovely fresh salads & fruit (we have been without fresh vegies & fruit for 4 or 5 days).
After lunch for an outing we went to the Zebra Rock Gallery and work shop. We admired the unusual rock art pieces & we had an interesting time chatting & watching the stone artisans. The lovely pieces are quite expensive (or very cheap if you think how unique and old they are).
In the late afternoon we caught up with Jason & Michelle Kingma plus their kids Ben, Matt & Amy. Jason & Michelle both work with me at Telstra in Canberra & are on 4 months long service leave. They left Canberra around the same time we did & by an extraordinary coincidence we are in Kununurra at the same time. There may even be an opportunity to catch up further along as they are heading around Australia in the same direction as us. So tonight we shared cheese & bikkies with the Kingma family, it was lovely to catch up.







Hello guys, hate to be the bearer of bad news, but Terike your uncle passed away on Wed. 18th. at 10:30 am, the whole thing lasted 3 weeks, was fast and he did not suffer. It’s difficult, but this is life. We will talk when you guys get home. Have a toast in his name, you know he always had a smile on his lips. Bye
Hi Zsuzsika, sorry to hear about your dad, we’re glad he didn’t suffer. Tereza had a talk with him just before we left & she will miss the chats they used to have. Lots of love to all of you.
Ron & Tereza
