From the Gibb River we went up to Wyndham ( the end of the earth place) where you can go to a look out and see where the 5 rivers - Pentacost, Ord, Durack, Forrest and the King river flow into the Cambridge Gulf and out to see. Apart from this and the giant Croc, there is no reason to visit WYndham...
Because Jeremy and Jas have become such avid bird watchers we decided to stay at Parry lagoon just outside of Wyndham. It is a world famous bird watching place with wetlands etc. It is very beautiful. We got up before sunrise and went down to the bird hide and saw all sorts of birds including some Brolgas. The sunrise on the range behind the wetlands was spectacular.
To really wash the dust off (and our clothes that were in even worse condition) we stayed a few nights at Lake Argyle Caravan Park. This is definately THE place to come to rest, relax and recoperate.The caravan park/camping ground is set on lake argyle, and they have this amazing infinity pool that blends into Lake Argyle waters. We just couldn't stay away from it. Soooo relaxing and beautiful.
We were lucky to see a Jabiru (male) faffiing about at home with the kids whilst the mother was off shopping for food no doubt. Beautiful birds.
That ends our WA part of our trip. What a magnificant state in terms of natural wonders. Tony and I loved it here. We will definately come back - there were so many places that we just didn't get time to visit.Anyway onto the Northern Territory in search of HUGE salties.
bye for now.
Awesome photos! Sounds like you are having an amazing time, a real trip of a lifetime. It's great to read about it and see the pics. Well done on the technology Janine!
