The trip to Kununarra

As we had lost a bit of time we decided that we would head direct to Kununurra and forget any sight seeing on the way. Our first stop was at Fitzroy Crossing where we had been warned not to stay in the campsite in town as it was full of Aborigines and they could be a bit intimidating but to stay at the resort site. It was very nice but the camp kitchen was a bit basic and I met my first huntsman spider and hopefully my last. We forgot about the no sight seeing rule and took a cruise along Geikie Gorge first thing the following morning, which was beautiful, and we just about saw a freshie (fresh water crocodile). The guide was very good and told us a lot about Aboriginal culture and their way of life.

Our next destination was Halls Creek which I have to say is the pits of the earth and worse. The campsite was shit, the Aborigines are either drunk or drugged to the eyeballs and on Sundays everything is closed. It did have one redeeming feature; the sports bar in the hotel was nice and open to members only if you get my drift! Left very early next morning for Kununurra.
