One week at the Kimberley - El Questro

Here we are camped at our very own private little river about 2kms from El Questro township.


Day1

A short trek into one of the many waterholes


we saw another Bower Bird nest


and wild flowers.


Day 2

The boys take a helicopter flight over the Kimberley, no doors on this helicopter

we drive up to the lookout for sunset with cheese and wine

on the way home some cows cross the road.


Day 3
We hang out at home exploring our camp site

visiting the local ants

saying hello to the cows

and checking out the wasp nest.


Day 4
Early morning swim at the hot springs


another social evening at another lookout with wine and cheese (*FYI we used to have 2 ducks named Olive and Pate' in the before children era, they were stolen from our backyard 5 years ago just before Rhody was born, ohhhh!) 

Day 5
We hired a boat for the morning and cruised down one the Gorge's

we saw some Donkey's on the way home.


Day 6
We drove all day along the Pentecost River, around the Cockburn Ranges. Through cattle stations to Wyndam and back to El Questro. We saw some Crocodiles in the wild. Big and fast!

We stopped off to look at some ancient Aboriginal rock art.
Day 7
We head towards home, Queensland.
