9th DAY A frightening start in Kununurra was followed by a major milestone as Bob and Tom crossed from Western Australia into the Northern Territory. Ahead lay 228 km to Timber Creek, ABC Darwin interviews, changing roads, Saddle Creek and a final push into town after dark.
8th DAY A day off the bikes gave us time to explore Kununurra, from Ivanhoe Crossing and an enormous old gantry crane to murals, boab art and dinner at Kelly’s. Meanwhile, the first of two plumbers would try to solve the latest problem with Jenny’s hire van.
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.
