7th DAY An early Kimberley sunrise began the 115 km ride from Doon Doon to Kununurra, with second breakfast on the highway and two little flashing red lights to find. By afternoon, Bob and Tom had arrived in Kununurra and two well-earned days off the bikes were waiting.
6th DAY The road from Warmun to Doon Doon brought another 85 km of sweeping Kimberley highway, changing red landscapes and rugged rock formations. It was one of the shorter riding days, ending at a great little roadhouse with what we declared the best chips of the entire trip.
5th DAY Another long day, 170 km from Halls Creek to Warmun, through 37°C Kimberley heat, relentless headwinds and another long day on the road. Along the way came a Friday call from 2GB, an unexpected $50 donation, cattle road trains, Jarlalu Bridge and the final five kilometres into Warmun.
4th DAY Brought us 200 km from Mimbi Caves to Halls Creek, beginning before sunrise on the gravel road back to the highway. There were spectacular Kimberley colours, Larrawa Station, wildflowers, termite mounds and relentless wind before we finally reached Halls Creek.
3rd DAY Was a shorter day, only 70 km from Fitzroy Crossing towards Mimbi Caves, through changing Kimberley landscapes, wandering livestock and another roadside second breakfast. Then came 4 km of gravel road, 36°C heat and a campground surrounded by ancient rock country.
