Day 16 Katherine to Kununurra

Having been lulled into a false sense of comfort by Bills dinner last night we were a bit tardy getting out today. The running repairs on the van (oh yes folks, our sort has its issues too) took a while, but Keith was clever and triumphant that he worked out what was causing the fuses to blow in the 12 volt pump. Turns out that the fridge fan had not been installed correctly and a wire had come loose. All this was discovered by opening 2 small hatches and fiddling about behind the fridge. Lesser men (and women) would have given up and gone to an auto electrician, but not Keith, he persisted and the problem is temporarily fixed.

The drive today was different because we were driving away from our final destination, Darwin. The landscape changes constantly and we called in at some stops in the Gregory National Park. It was too hot to do much walking and we needed to keep going.

Kununurra is an oasis to us now. The caravan park is lush and tropical and
We have frogs in the ensuite bathroom. Great value too. We will be heading back to Kununurra on our return to Darwin.
