cant beat a Kimberly sunset
« on: July 10, 2013, 10:03:01 PM »
Well after 8 years we have finally made it back to the Kimberlys. Staying a couple of days in Kununurra before heading off down the Gibb River Road. Happy as a pig in mud, you bet.

Any other swaggers out this way ill keep an eye out for you and say hi  :cup:

cheers

And people wonder why we live in the Tanami Desert, with the same sunsets all the time.

We are in Broome, having just finished the GRR

the road from El Questro to Home Valley is rubbish (compared to the rest of it... it really wasn't too bad), the rest is like a Billiard table except a few patches here and there!

Fuel at Mt Barnett was $2.40, Inmajnti (80-100km up the Road) was $2.25!

Enjoy it..........

Well if your still in KUN then you still have more to see. I think that the Broom sunsets are the best in the world.  They are certainly better than KUN. Also, and only because you will get a sideways glace if coming to Broome. It is the Kimberly, not the Kimberly's as there is only one. I got told fairly quick when I arrived 4 years ago. It's a bit like their protest stickers they made to protest against the gas hub at James Price Point - not James Prices Point.

Glad to see your obviously feeling OK after being 'Nuked' today ;D. Can you check that all is working with regards to the Keyboard and Mouse  at your home. As we are flying out on Friday morning I can at least leave any thing you need at the clinic, as required.

I will not be home by Friday.  Napanangka uses the laptop, not the desktop.  Perhaps you can tell me how to get Wifi going with my desktop.

Hi Steve,
I thought I should inform you that your hometown is spelled Broome, not Broom.  I must be getting better, I am getting damned cheeky again.
