We took several pictures of this magnificent train and unfortunately there is no room for more pictures here but if anyone wants to see them I can send them by email.

On to Kununurra -511km and hot.
Via Victoria River and Timber Creek along the Victoria Highway.
This highway for long periods during the "wet" and even sometimes in the "dry" is under water and impassable. The signs make that obvious and where there is a dip in the road there is a depth gauge to indicate the depth of the water.

We have been seeing beautifully coloured birds in large flocks and somewhere along this road we saw our first live snake wriggling sideways across the road. A sign pointing up a narrow red road indicating a Nature Park and picnic area made us stop and investigate because we were in need of sustenance. Our excitement was short lived when we discovered it was 46km away.
Brahmin cattle dotted the landscape indicating "cattle country"
The dominant colour everywhere is red with dramatic landscapes and huge escarpments towering up to a great height. The termite nests tend to be smaller than what we have seen before but in greater numbers.

Signs are appearing informing us that we have to pass through a quarantine checkpoint when we cross the border from the NT to WA and that we could be fined for taking fruit or vegetables across. That's a shame because we stocked up with fresh vegetables yesterday.
We planned to buy an ice cream at the Victoria Roadhouse but were passed it before realising. It was well back from the road and looked like a pub so next time we will look more carefully.
We sighted our first Boab tree and these have to be seen to be believed. They are hard to describe so I will insert a photo of one later. I believe the Kimberley is the only place in the world they exist.

At Timber Creek roadhouse we found the price of diesel to be $1.28 per litre and thankfully we did not need any this time and it was here we gave our fruit and vegetables to the Aboriginal women sitting outside the supermarket who seemed very pleased to receive it. I suspect they get plenty.
At the checkpoint we had to put our watches back 90 minutes. We are now officially in Western Australia.

Kununurra is one of our important stops and we have to decide whether or not to visit the Bungle Bungles from here or later from Turkey Creek. The price of a 4 hour flight by "Slingair" clinched the deal and was a good decision.

Ivanhoe Caravan and tourist Park is where we decided to stay for a couple of nights. It is a very high class place with a "resort" feel about it and prices to match but we were pleased we stayed here.
