A simple day starting wth brekkie at the township. The Emma Gorge on the way out. For those of you that haven't been there, its a bit of a walk and scramble in, but nothing like as bad as El Questro. It's worth every step. The pool at the end of the gorge is amazing. It's used in so much of the Kimberley promotional material for a reason! What that blurb doesn't tell you is that there are hot springs on the right hand side,so if you go under the overhang, you get warm water falling on you, and then you find the small warm pool tucked behind some rocks...

But all good things must come to an end and we headed for Wyndham. Got to the campsite and both had a huge desire to not have to muck around setting up camp again so we booked into a cabin. So far we have followed two recommendations. Firstly to go to 5 rivers lookout for sunset, the to go to the Community club for dinner.
The 5 Rivers lookout is the best of the trip so far. It redefines the term "Panoramic" with it's 270 degreed views over Wyndham and the Ord and Pentecost rivers systems.

Dinner nearly didn't happen. We got to the Club and walked in... and weren't sure if it was a good idea. The we saw that either Lamb roast, Lasagne or Beef Stir Fry were all $12, and suddenly everything was fine. Then we noticed that the block wall was painted in places. It appears that over the past 25 or so years, people have paid to have one or more blocks painted with a motif of their choosing to support the club
There's more to see here, but we won't have time. Even to wet a line...
