Two steps forward and one back again

We decided that the Bungle Bungle Ranges in Purnululu NP are worth a detour before heading along the Gibb River Road through the heart of the Kimberley’s.
Unfortunately the support bracket of the exhaust pipe broke off again, during the trip along the heavily corrugated entry road.
The previous mechanic in Katherine had done a bad job(but it was the only one that had the time to do it) and we thought surely someone in Wyndham would be able to help out.
Well, I think this country needs car mechanics as they are all so busy that we were forced to go back to Kununarra.... Here we are again!
On the upside, I even 'enjoyed' some riding off-road and along the bitumen road into Kununarra. But the dry heat is not really something that I would call fun, I wonder how people ride along those roads through the centre....it's boring.
While waiting for the car to get fixed, I tried to upload the photos from our trip with the girls, but the connection is so slow that after only 16 new (taking more than 30 minutes) I am giving up now....

Ahead of us are 700km rough Outback offroad!
