Lake Kununurra - view from the holiday park




Kununurra - from Kelly's Nob

 We had so much fun for the four days we spent here. We stayed at the Kimberlyland Holiday Park and our fantastic site was by the pool. 

We caught up with just a few locals that we met in 1999 when we worked here, it was surprising how many people were still around. Everyone is just so friendly here and always happy for a chat.



Kate, Ava, Emma and Ella.



We met quite a few travelling families here and enjoyed spending time with them all at the park. The kids especially, they all had so much fun together in the pool everyday. They spent a lot of time with Ella and Ava another 2 girls who are travelling Australia.

We enjoyed watching a sunset at Kelly’s Nob. Cruising Lake Kununurra in our tinny. We did not do any fishing on Lake Kununurra as Silver Cobbler (catfish) is the only thing you catch. But we did come across a massive Barra on the water. The locals are speculating that the dead Barra have come from Spillway creek and the flow of the water being so strong knocks them about or they have eaten a cane toad.

Our biggest highlight was the Variety bash coming to town. On Saturday afternoon the WA Variety Bash finished their annual bash at Celebrity Park Kununurra (across the road from the park). It was fantastic being there in the middle of all the excitement. About 50 wonderful dressed up cars and drivers were giving gifts and lollies to the kids, it was just like being at a theme park having photos with fairy tale and cartoon characters and walking away with masses of giveaways.  We woke to more excitement on Sunday morning  when the NSW Variety bash cars were arriving at Celebrity Park Kununurra to start their next part of their bash. They had more participants than WA so more costumes, characters and giveaways for the girls. Such a wonderful experience for Emma and Kate.
