Darwin to Kununurra

Spent the next week catching up with Rachael, Scott and the kids and to attend little Toby's first birthday party. Lucky for us Uncle Tobe and Aunty Val were up here as well so it was good to spend time with them. We were also lucky enough to be taken out crabbing in Scott's boat and caught 5 crabs, enough for a meal that night. After a great party it was time for us to head off , bound for Kununurra in Western Australia.
We arrived in Kununurra on Monday settled into our camp before refamiliarising ourselves with the town of Kununurra, as we have been here before.
  Went to see if the Ivanhoe crossing was open , but it was closed due to the volume of water flowing over it. Then we went and visited the sandlewood factory, this was very interesting and we found out some intestering facts about the growing of sandlewood. It is grown using host trees as it is a parasite.
A lot of work and reaserch has gone into the growing of this reasonably new industry here in Kununurra.
It was then up to Kelly's knob, a lookout over the township with great views, then back to camp before embarking on our sunset dinner cruise.
