Big Day Today. We got up at 5am in order to be on our flight over the Bungle Bungles and Lake Argyle at 6am. Having not flown in a small plane for may years, I was reminded how much I love flying and getting to sit up front with the pilot was a bonus. Justin was sooo jealous, but he would not have been able to see over the dash.
I won’t go on about the flight too much as it has to be experienced to be appreciated but awe inspiring and eye opening is how I would describe it. Flying certainly gives you a perspective of the vast changing beauty of this part of the country.
Our evening was spent on what is affectionally known as the BBQ boat. We were picked up by Scott on the old Perth transit bus and windows and doors open we blasted off to pick up more passengers and take us to the boat. The diversion dam that gravity feeds Kununurra’s vast network of irrigation channels is a place to view wildlife including bats, freshwater crocodiles, sea eagles and birds that can walk on water. I don’t think that their real name is Jesus Birds, but that seems as good a name as any to call them. Paul cooked us a wonderful BBQ dinner as we watched the sun go down. The spotlight came out and the kids were able to see the many crocs hiding on the side of the lake.
