In Kununurra we gathered some info on the Kimberly (the so-called last great frontier of Australian wilderness) and forged our game plan for our adventures through it. We had been in contact with another WWOOF host who said we could join them at their property before they left for a vacation at the end of September. Without much time between our arrival and their departure, and wanting to leave northern Australia before the wet season began, we decided to do a short explore in the Bungle Bungles (a unique geological landscape in the southeast Kimberly) and then make a b-line for Udialla Springs (where we would WWOOF) on the southwestern edge.
That night, the rains came down on us once more. Not wanting a drenching repeat of dinner the night before, we hunkered down in the car, each with our own can of spaghetti and sauce, passing around a large can of baked beans. Quality camping fare paired with The Princess Bride. Unbeatable. We took the long drive out the next morning light and exhilarated.
