RV TRAVEL
Freshwater crocodile.
Ivanhoe Crossing.
Camping at Parry Creek Farm.
KUNUNURRA GEOLOGY
cruise on Lake Kununurra and
the Upper Ord River is in order.
Other things to do in
Kununurra include a short
drive to Mirima (Hidden Valley)
National Park. A day-use
area provides access to four
walks through a landscape
reminiscent of the Bungle
Bungle Range in Purnululu
National Park.
Another short drive, with an
appointment made in advance,
is to the delightful Kangaroo
Haven Wildlife Rescue.
Geology enthusiasts will take
an interest in the various rock
venues in and around town.
Zebra rock, with its striped
patterns, is a particularly
interesting ornamental stone.
Drop by the visitor centre and
pick up a map leading you to
rocks, Aboriginal art, pink
Argyle diamonds, sandalwood
products, a rum distillery and
other venues.
Don’t miss Ivanhoe Crossing,
a concrete causeway over the
Lower Ord River. It is one of
those places that four-wheel-
drivers feel compelled to cross
even if they don’t need to.
In times of high water, the
crossing is closed (be croc
wise at all times).
For a ride a bit further out of
town, head up toward Wyndham.
Look for signs for the Five Rivers
Lookout and proceed up the
winding road to a view where the
Ord, Durack, King, Pentecost and
Forrest rivers converge and spill
into the Cambridge Gulf. It is a
stunning, panoramic scene.
