A trip to Wyndham, WA ( 23rd September, 2011)

We all decide we should go and see Wyndham, a town 100km north of Kununurra, home of the biggest Boab tree in WA and at the confluence of five mighty rivers ( including the Ord, Durack and King Rivers). That’s about it as it is a port for shipping out iron ore, so not the prettiest of places. The Bug Bats were not impressed by such a trip as it did’nt include water, skateboarding, wildlife or fishing……nevertheless the adults were impressed by the scale of the five rivers from the lookout.

Five Rivers Lookout - very hazy though!

We headed back to Kununurra to find a secret swim hole that a local told us about called Molly Springs, which is not signposted hence its their best kept secret. We managed to find the dirt track off the highway and found a pretty waterfall and pool. All glad to jump in and get cool. The Bug Bats happy that water had actually featured in this day trip!
