Yet again we were up early, packed and ready to go. We had been advised by the Ranger to leave our camper outside his Office as limited travel is allowed for camper-trailers within the park. After unhitching our trailer we drove to the northern section of the park to Echidna Chasm but on the way we stopped at the Osmond Range lookout.

Next we made our way back to our parked camper-trailer, hitched up and made our way from the Purnulula National Park back along the rough road and through the various rivers to the Great Northern Highway. We reached the highway with a sigh of relief - the track had been rough and slow-going. We headed east back to Kununurra where we booked into The Hidden Valley Caravan Park for a couple of nights. We had called ahead to the local tavern to make sure that they were showing the Broncos/Cowboys semi-final Rugby League match on the TV that evening!!
On arrival at the tavern, we selected a table and started to read the menu when the Irish manager came over and acknowledged us as the people who had rung early to check that they were televising the Broncos. Obviously we stood out as out-of-towners. He adjusted the TV screen, sound etc so that we could watch the match in comfort. What service!
Gulliver's Tavern - the food was great too!
