Wyndham

We left El Questro and headed north. 

WA's most northerly town, Wyndham was more of a thriving community before the meatworks closed down in the mid 80's

Now its home to about 900 people who, according to the volunteer running the museum,  love it here.

It's a dead-end in that no one passes through Wyndham... you're here because you want to be here and for that reason the town is pretty settled.

It's not a dry town as such,  but there's no alcohol for sale anywhere.

In and on the outskirts of town we saw a couple of sobering up places advertising their services.

7m tides here means the water is very muddy. The meatworks used to pipe all the blood off the floor straight into the harbour so of course there's a pretty healthy croc population!

This boab. .. wow!

30km out of town is a hallow boab that was used as a holding cell for (typically) indigenous people. 😞

At sunset, we headed up to the Five Rivers lookout. Beautiful. 

And lovely and cooler up there with a good breeze blowing. 

Cool sculpture park here, too. (Well, John thought so! Robyn yet to be convinced of its level of cool!)

Back to Kununurra to get the van door looked at. Not locking 😞
