Hi from Kununnura, Western Australia

Just a very short hello from the busy travellers. Leaving Darwin on the 25th we visited Litchfield National Park and stayed overnight in Florence Falls and Wangi Falls, beautiful places, which only pictures can tell. Unfortunately we haven't had the internet-luck filling our pics in so far - hopefully we'll succeed soon. Miss 4WD is cooperating wonderful in running the dusty red roads, and we've passed through muddholes and river crossings from Litchfield to Katherine - a strange, new and exciting feeling.

Spent one night in Katherine and then further on > Kununnura, about 108 K's from the Western Australian borderline - 513 kilometres ride in one day.

We had a funny episode at the borderline, as it is not allowed to bring fresh fruit and vegetables into WA. Instead throwing all the food we just bought in the bin, we were offered to cook a little aside of the road, still on the Northern Territory area - we thanked for that and had a delicious meal, prepared under a dark, dark sky with our campinggear - MUMS :-).

Yesterday we made small locale tours in and a little outside Kununnura, and planned to move on through the Kimberleys this morning. Having driven 50 K's and before entering The Gibb River Road - a proposed 650 k's long distance very remote in the desert we learned that our satellite telephone wasn't able to charge the battery.
There we were with nothing else to do than going back to Kununnura trying to solve the problem. I think we can have a new one this afternoon, so tomorrow we can continue our wilderness adventure, driving safely till Broome.

Pictures ? A.S.A.P, promise :-).

Do we have to tell you that the temperatures reach +40 degrees and that we love the invention of tap-water.

Have a merry 1st December tomorrow where ever you are.
Talking about christmas, it's so weird to walk around in shorts, sunglasses among christmas stuff.

Next time we can be on/line maybe in Broome - in a week or so.

Love

The globetrotters
