On the return trip to Kununurra we stopped at Parry's Lagoon where Lee took another 1000 photo's!! This is a nice one of a Brolga seen snacking on some small fish from time to time...
A summary of events at Wyndham found at the five rivers lookout!
A feature of Wyndham is this replica Crocodile - a reminder of what lurks in the waterways in the region...
The Big Boab fact sheet - 2000 years old!!!
This is supposed to be the biggest Boab Tree in captivity (not sure what a wild Boab would look like??). Joey calls these 'upside down trees' for obvious reasons!!
At the local caravan park we saw this sample of Wyndam camping - each tent has its own associated airconditioner. Understandable when you consider the day we visited (2nd September) was 39 degrees!! A warm spring day indeed...
This plate details the river systems than empty into the waterway around Wyndham...
About 100km from Kununurra is the coastal town of Wyndham. This shot is from the vantage point know as 'Five Rivers'. This is because five rivers from different areas all spill into this section of waterway. From the North flows the Forrest River. From the West flows the Durack and Pentecost Rivers. From the South flows the King River, and from the East flows the Ord River which is also the river that is dammed to create the huge Lake Argyle. In the wet season there is plenty of water in this region!!
