A New State

18th July



Not a particularly interesting day - we packed up and left Katherine Gorge and headed into Katherine for breakfast and to get the tyre looked at. Thankfully the tyre was just a valve and it was the best kind of repair - Free!


We set off across the Victoria Highway heading towards Kunanurra - approximaely 55okm. I will confess to ne being overly enthusiastic about a big drive but this one had two huge advantages - the drive was beautiful. Gregory National Park was spectacular and we would have loved to spend more time there. The second big advantage was that we gained one and a half hours when we crossed the border.






Crossing the border was fun - we had caught up with Matt and Maree about 25km before the border so when we got to the actual border crossing it was a quarantine stop so because of the queue Maree and I were the only ones able to get out of the cars to get a photo under the 'Welcome the Western Australia' sign. Being the mature grown women we are we were taking stupid photos of each other doing star jumps and other dumb poses. When I got back in the car Claire wanted to look at the photos and her response was a shake of the head and an 'oh mum'.





We arrived in Kunanurra and set up and because we had gained an extra hour and a half we spent the extra time sitting around the pool and doing washing.
