We drove to Western Australia. Here we are eating all our fruit and vege before we cross the border because we’re not allowed to bring fruit or vege that isn’t in a tin over the border.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n Mirima NP<\/p>\n We went to Mirima National Park which is in Kununurra.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n We went for a walk.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This boab was in Celebrity Tree Park.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This is a damsel fly. There were thousands around the edge of the lake.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This is a big-footed jacana. Can you see its huge feet?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Lake Argyle<\/strong><\/p>\n We drove to see Lake Argyle. It is a humungous man-made lake.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Ivanhoe Crossing<\/strong><\/p>\n We did not drive across this awesome croc filled crossing because it was closed.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Kelly’s Knob<\/strong><\/p>\n This is a lookout.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Behind us is a massive fire which started while we were up the lookout. You can actually see the top of the flames.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n In the caravan park there was a freshwater croc called George – he came to visit each night. He’s missing part of his lower jaw and right rear foot.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n There were also a pair of Tawny Frogmouths that roosted near George.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Wyndham<\/strong><\/p>\n There was a donkey at the caravan park that came over to us every day. It nibbled at Matt’s towel. The first time we saw it, Dad went to get something from the car and when he came back he found the donkey trying to get into our caravan.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This huge boab tree is also at the caravan park.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Here is a croc that is in the town centre. We saw a picture of it turning 21 in a magazine. It was wearing a huge party hat.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The 5 rivers lookout looks out over the estuary and you can see 5 rivers.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n We saw the sun set. It sets about 5:20. The time here is an hour and a half earlier than in SA and NT.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Marlgu Billabong<\/strong><\/p>\n This is Che’s new favourite animal- a darter. The darter is the one with the outstretched wings. The other two birds are an egret and a brolga.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This is an egret and a pelican. The scenery looks a bit like the Flinders Ranges, all dry and red and dusty. It seemed strange to have a lagoon there.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n These are magpie geese.<\/p>\n This is a white bellied sea eagle. It scared all the magpie geese away. It didn’t catch any.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Grotto<\/strong><\/p>\n You can swim here earlier in the dry season, but now it is too stagnant.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n We saw a big, fat, stupid, ugly cane toad. It looked like it had warts growing all over it.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This is a double-barred finch. Matt loves these. They are so little and cute.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n These are some aboriginal rock paintings.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Prison Tree<\/strong><\/p>\n This is a boab prison tree. It was used by the early police patrols as an overnight lockup. We all climbed inside it.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Che is outside the boab pretending to be a police man. He is looking at Dad and Matt who are in the prison tree.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Dad is sitting in the entrance into the prison tree.<\/p>\n![\"kun-wyn01\"](\"http:\/\/travelblog.kristinmartin.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/kun-wyn01.jpg\")
