Day 39: Kununurra to Katherine

So early in the morning Rich and Kim said goodbye
To lovely Kununurra that had been their home for five
Lovely days of exploring, fishing, swimming and drives
They had visited bridges, dams, boats and a bird hide.
 Rich's fishing trip on the lower Ord river

Rich had been on an expensive fishing safari
He had fun but couldn’t land the barramundi
He did meet Killer the massive salty
And desperately hoped the boat wasn’t faulty.
 The saltwater croc called Killer (takes cattle for fun)


Kim spent her time shopping, reading and updated her tan
She must admit to thinking about aircon in the van
Thirty three the temperature here in the shade
Enough to make even stalwart Richard fade!
The spillway below Lake Kununurra 

The trip today was over 500 kilometers long
We left late, arrived late because everything went wrong
From stones in the windscreen to heat in car
Expensive petrol, dead battery and that endless strip of tar!

Tonight we are camped just out of Katherine town
Edith Falls and Litchfield Park tomorrow we’ll trek around
We’re watching the lunar eclipse as I speak
What a beautiful end to a wonderful week!
 Tawny Frogmouth above our van

Tomorrow will no doubt bring more beauty and loveliness
How right that on Sunday we’ll see more God amazingness!
How blessed we are in stunning ‘stralia land to be
Couldn’t think of anywhere better, Richard and me!
