Karijini National Park – Campervanning part 6
Karijini has been somewhere on Matt’s to do list so it was somewhere we wanted to experience fully. Doing our usual thing of arriving after sunset, we dropped our park fee ($12) into the entrance gates (kind of like an honesty box situation rather than a manned booth but you have to display your receipt … Continue reading
Katherine to WA border, Lake Argyle and Kununurra – Campervanning part 4
After our hot springs dip in Katherine we headed off on our first major leg of the journey (which actually took us in the correct direction, West).
