Wyndham - our furtherest northeastern stop

We drove to Wyndham for part of the day.  It is approximately 90 km from Kununurra and after this we turn around and start going back south.  Not before time as the temperatures are starting to rise here in mid-August.  Our fridge started to protest at all this heat and we were mortally afraid that everything in the freezer was going to melt.  But all is now well, fridge working but the days are getting very hot.


The giant crocodile at the entrance to Wyndham.  We went and sampled the meat pies at the Wyndham Bakery which is reputed to have some of the best pies and the largest variety in Oz.  We could have had a crocodile pie or a barramundi pie but we opted for our favourite, lamb curry, and the breakfast pie which included cheese,bacon and a hard-boiled egg.








Larger than life statues at Warriu Dreamtime Park in the town.










The view from the Five Rivers Lookout near Wyndham.








The view over the Cockburn Ranges which was one of the locations for filming of the movie Australia.








After leaving Wyndham we stopped at the gorge know as the Grotto which has a permanent swimming hole. Water seeps from the side wall.










This morning on our way south we stopped at the Doon Doon Roadhouse for the tallest hamburger.  It tasted as good as it looks.
