Emily@ El Questro

Our car is in the mechanics so we hired a car to explore.The first day we explored around Kununurra, including the markets, Mirima National Park, some water holes and the Zebra Rock Gallery.Zebra rock is a stripy rock only found in the East Kimberly. The Gallery was full of things that were made of Zebra rock and was on the edge of the Ord River. We went down to the river with bits of bread to feed the fish. There were catfish and black Bream and my, weren't they ugly.Yesterday we left early to drive to El Questro, a three million acre property on the Gibb River Road. We were all busting for a swim, because the day was 36 degrees, so we decided to go for a walk to Zebedee Springs to have a swim. Mum thought it was a bit too warm but we all thought it was relaxing and didn't want to get out after an hour and a half! Then we went to have lunch. Fish and chips, beef burgers, Caesar salad and ice cream to follow. After lunch we went on a beautiful 2 hour walk down Emma Gorge. Teddy had to come too! When we got to the end there was a lovely waterhole. It was very cold and we enjoyed it thoroughly and Josh swam all the way to the waterfall and back. It was a day we will all remember.
