Yesterday we drove from Warmun to Kununurra. As we left the roadhouse I noticed this sign explaining why the gate should be secured. Any stray cow or wild horse in the small compound would wreak havoc! We saw several wild horses during the 180kms drive to Kununurra. The scenery along the route was very interesting.
When we arrived at Kununurra we were not able to secure a powered site in the caravan parks that allow dogs. We settled for an unpowered site and called tradespeople to see if they so could fix our gas leak. The plumber tested everything, pulled up the gas stove, admired the neat plumbing in the van, but could not find any leak. He had been able to smell LPG but no leak registered on his instruments or when he tested with soap bubbles.
By the time he left it was after 3pm and our fridge had not been operating since we arrived 4 hours earlier. It was 35 degrees so when we finally turned the gas on the fridge struggled so we got some ice to help cool it down.
Our site has fabulous views across a large lagoon in the middle of Kununurra, but only has morning shade. All of the sites are quite small and we had to leave room both sides of the van to put up shade awnings. We had the option of moving to a powered site this morning but the thought of packing everything up again and unpacking in the heat on another small site was underwhelming so we opted to stay put. We erected shade on three sides but had to keep our poles and guy ropes within our site boundary so the structure reminds me of Kurilpa Bridge in Brisbane as the poles are at strange angles. At least it has been effective so we hope there are no strong winds to test the engineering.
