Hidden Valley caravan park at Kununurra - the location was lovely with red rocks in the background but we were not overly impressed by the maintenance of the caravan park itself or the service.
The next morning we spent a leisurely day driving to
Wyndham, an historical town from the pioneer days. Wyndham was established in 1886 during the gold rush days. It is the most northerly and oldest town in the Kimberley region. The port was very active back in the early days but declined at the end of the Halls Creek gold rush. It has more recently be used for shipping ore.

Although it was Saturday, the town was almost deserted. The only place that appeared to be open was the pub.

Once again the Kununurra carpark was full of 4x4s with CB radio aerials - essential in this vast area
