Since I have been back

I arrived back to a luscious green Kimberley.

a lovely green Cockburn Range
I love this time of the year, although still blistering hot and humid the country is green, fresh and alive.
Pentecost crossing was dry most of last season
Diversion Dam
Over the humid months the sunsets are amazing, and 2 weeks after my return we were blessed with a double whammy from a passing tropical low.
We received 310mm of rain in two days......the waterfalls were pumping.


Just west of town a few kilometres, there was 4 waterfalls where previously was nothing.


Once the weekend arrived a trip to the Grotto near Wyndham was essential.

Ivanhoe Crossing after 310mm of rain
After a big rain event like that there remains beautiful  clear flowing cascades for days, sometimes weeks afterwards.



The Ord River floodplains also look stunning this time of year.




Then for a trip up the Ord River, and  a swim.

Elephant Rock from the Ord

Sunset on the river was superb.



This was followed by a sunset BBQ at the Pentecost Crossing.


late afternoon on the Durack River
Last weekend I headed to a tourist free Purnululu National Park for a few days. This will be my next update.
Bye for now
