RV TRAVEL WATCH SUNSET AT THE PUMPHOUSE I don’t know if I have ever come across a better place to watch a sunset in the Kimberley. The former Main Pump Station, built in the early 1960s, has been converted into an iconic restaurant and bar and is a cracking spot to enjoy a sunset. You will find the Pumphouse on Lakeview Drive. Park in the golf club car park. Inside amongst the dining tables you will find all sorts of gauges, gadgets and old pumps that were once used to operate the pumphouse. Outside you can enjoy a drink or dine outdoors on the open-air deck while watching the giant silver cobblers swimming below. With happy hour drinks coming in at $6 a pop, you will be well under budget; however, this is one place you may say ‘stuff it’ and enjoy an amazing meal as well. During peak periods it is best to book for dinner as this place pumps every night (except Monday when it is closed.)
