RV TRAVEL Emma Gorge. Marlgu Billabong in Parry Lagoons Nature Reserve is a must for birdwatchers. You can access it from a horrible road branching off from the road to Parry Creek Farm (where you can camp), but a much better option is to continue on the Great Northern Highway past Parry Creek Road for 4.4km. The billabong at sunset is ravishing. The number of boab trees standing guard over the surrounding plateau will thrill botanists. If you are driving back to Kununurra after dusk, be mindful of agile wallabies coming out to feed. A TASTE OF THE GIBB If you are not up to doing the entire Gibb River Road but would like a taste of it, take a 25km drive from the east end of the Gibb to Emma 26 gorv.com.au Gorge Resort on El Questro Station. You can park at the resort and take the moderately difficult one-hour hike to Emma Gorge and its lovely waterfall. Eleven kilometres further along the Gibb is the turn-off to El Questro Village (with camping). The turn-off for Zebedee Springs is 10km along, a true oasis at the end of a short, easy walk. To soak in these warm waters, surrounded by stunning palm trees, is an unforgettable experience in an enchanting Garden of Eden. Note that a $12 day pass is required for all adults, and, Zebedee Springs is closed in the afternoons. Contact El Questro for more information. That’s Kununurra for you, with as much or as little to do as you please.
