Day 27 Kununurra to Fitzroy Crossing 650 KM's

We had a pleasure stay at the Kununurra Country club....  Early start with breakfast in the room ( with bowls) we headed out of town towards Hall Creek.... This road takes you to the heart of the Kimberley, the scenery is stunning and you have to see it for yourself to appreciate the vista... My best explanation is Australia's Grand Canyon... We passed the turn off to the Bungle Bungle about 50 KM's ... Which would have added a 100kms to the trip so we decided to push on... The temp reached the mid 30's so the hydro packs where get a lot of use... 4-5 litres per day.  Pulled into Halls Creek for fuel and water and headed to Fitzroy Crossing....

A couple of surprises in Fitzroy Crossing... It's has a fantastic caravan park and its "dry" you cannot purchased alcohol too takeaway... 2 bars where you can drink on the premises ...

We made the decision to camp as the motel accommodation was expensive..this turned out to be a good decision, camping under the stars was fantastic ...the sky was clear and with no light it was an awesome sight... I saw the international space station come by...

Tomorrow off to Broome...
