Mataranka to Kununurra

Arriving at Timber Creek for one of our fuel stops.



A shot of Bobs communal shower & he still lives.



Ord River downstream from dam, simply a must see.




Lake Argyle and Ord dam, bloody huge,don't know if it being used to its full potential.



Have had some rain at Victoria River as evidenced by the driveway, however the owner donated $50.00.was a nice guy too.




Of Course we all do what we read.




Where's Wally, The lengths the film crew will go to get some great footage,it was a fair climb in the heat.



I took this with Dickos long distance lens, a water fall after some heavy rain.

Had a blow out on the trailer, don't know where the rest of the tyre is,was just the beads left.Didn't even feel it, was told by one of the bike guys that it was missing.
Another 620k day,Into Western Australia Now.

From the Riders -

arrived at Mataranka with around 33 deg afternoon.
looking for a nice shower & some airconditioned bar to relax.
never the less it was not to be. limited units with air and a place called the Dorm (new word for prison)which was last renovated after WWII.
Some softies took one look and moved onto Katherine.
Being we are all on an adventure we unloaded our gear and headed to the thermal pool at the edge of the motel.
Everyone had the same idea and with 30 million litres coming out each day and 34 deg constant it was fantastic.
A 2 day stop to relax and think about the 620 k trip to Kununurra.
Next morning headed off to Kununurra for the next leg of our adventure.
Luckily we put our wet weather gear on before leaving as once again the rain beat down on us.
On arrival at Katherine it was 104ks it was time for breaky at the Coffee Club & Donna needed her 4 shots of coffee before heading off.
This was another of the days we had a roadside stop to give the riders a break and a fuel top up for the ones who only have smaller tanks.
Again lots of rain and water up to the edge of the road which was closed the night we got there and in some cases flowing across the road. it's unbelievable the amount of rain that can fall and then disappear.
Anyhow rain nearly all the way to Kununurra the beginning of the Boab Tree.
