Trip to Kununurra

Our great trip to Kununurra started at 6o’clock in the morning. It was a sunny, 28degress warm Tuesday morning and we were all ready for going. Our first stop was at a Chicken Farm from Jim’s friend. He had around 200’000 Chicken in 8 big halls and now we know where the Chicken is coming from when we go to Chicken Treat.

We were driven along the Coast and after I while we saw some Sand Dunes, I asked Jim if we could stop for a while and have a look. We stopped and we had some great fun in the Sand. I told him after, that I did more with him in the last 2houers then with the Rotary Club Mount Lawley in my past 6month!

Our first stop where we stayed overnight was Monkey Mia, it’s a really great place with a lot to do. At the first night we had a big BBQ, we did a 1,6kg Steak with Potato and some vegetables and later during the night Gabrielle, Billy and I went to the Beach and we cached some crabs and fishes. The next morning started at 7o’clock in the morning because we went for Dolphin watching, after 2 hours at 9o’clock, 2 Dolphins came in and we gave them 150g of fish. During the same day some wild Emus came to our camping spot and we could feed them out of our hand, It was a great experience.

The next stop at our plan was Coral Bay, we drove from Monkey Mia to Coral Bay in around 8hours. But it was worth the drive. We stayed in a Bungalow just 2min from the beach. We booked for the next day a Glass Bottom Boat Tour, it drove us about 500m away from the Coast where the Reef started and we went there for Snorkelling. We saw couples of Reef Sharks but they were just 1m long and not dangerous, there were hips of fish, really colourful and from small to really big. We went for fishing as well and snorkelling at the beach, there was a lot to do. We decided that Billy, Gabrielle and I are cooking for Jim every night something special from our country. Billy started with a good Chicken Soup with Salad from Taiwan, Gabrielle did a good Pasta with a homemade Tomato sauce from Italy and I finally did a big hash brown (like a big Omelette) with Meet and a good pepper sauce from Switzerland.  We think Jim enjoyed it, hopefully. 

After Coral Bay we stopped at Port Hedland, Karratha and Broome.

In Port Hedland we saw the poor and the rich side of the life and we've been to the big salt dunes and the Mines in Port Hedland. They are huge and really Interessting.

In Karratha we catched up with the RC of Karratha for Dinner and we had to do a Speech about our self and our home country, we just stayed there over night and we went straight to Broome at the next day.

Broome was just beautiful, the beach was huge and we've been to camel riding at sunset, I will never forget about this experience and I can say, everybody should do that once in his life, it's worth it.
