An extra warm welcome for Val and Henry

Val and Henry arrived in Kununurra on Monday in the midst of a heatwave, 38 deg and humid each day with very hot nights. It was hot for us but a huge adjustment for them after only leaving wintry Melbourne a week prior. The kids were eager to show off their swimming skills so we all spent a lot of time at the pool in the caravan park. Jackson decided he didn't want his swim ring anymore and impressed us all with his swimming skills. We also visited a zebra rock gallery (a type of stripy rock only found in the East Kimberley), a few parks in the area and a sunset lookout. Daniel and I took the kids to the nearby Mirima National Park early one morning and did a few short hikes but by 9am it was too hot to walk. It was great just chatting and catching up with Val and Henry after not seeing them for nearly 7 months. We left Val and Henry on Thursday morning headed for Purnululu National Park to see The Bungles with plans to meet up on Saturday and find a good camp spot for Daniel's birthday.

Daniel's purchase from Kununurra, it has been very well used since (apologies for the slightly obscene photo!)
