From two to five and back to two

Katharina, Jaana, Alex, Rhonda

After three weeks travelling with the five of us, we are down in numbers again. It was most certainly a great time for all of us. Although it was not always easy making decisions about the next destination and activity, but it all worked out well and at the end the farewell was quiet sad.

' If you respect the land, then you will feel the land. Your experience will be one that you cannot get anywhere else in the world.'
Brian Baruwei - Wurrkbarbar clan. Aboriginal traditional owner.












And yes, it was a fairly unique experience. Therefore we took our time to experience the true beauty of the ancient landscapes and discover the impressive Aboriginal rock art sites.
We even tried our luck in basket weaving with the old ladies(each of us ended up with a braicelet) and had some freshly hunted Magpie goose just from the hot coal.
But the great Outdoors come with the discomfort of dust, great heat and humidity, pit toilets, no showers, flies(oh dear!) and a great deal of mosquito’s(yes!).
The tropical North most certainly put our patience to a test with a great amount of flies and mosquito’s, they seem to have an organized schedule to annoy travellers: As soon as you get up, one has to face an invasion of flies which seem to have no respect as where to sit...and mosquito’s come along as soon as the sun goes down. Wildelife!
In Gregory NP(even more flies), mainly a park for outdoor and four wheel driving enthusiasts; Rhonda, Ina and Jaana proofed to be actually quiet good in tricky offroad driving.

We decided to drive along the Bullita Stockroute (90 km/8 hrs): A loop track where our cars had to crawl over Sharp rocks and tackle very rocky and tide river crossings(without water). But our efforts were worth it: We saw huge Boab trees, fantastic scenery, wild horses, huge bulls, wild donkies and even a skinny Dingo....and no other Tourists.
And Alex finally got a desperately needed bikeride in, riding ahead of the cars...!!
We didn't make it into the Kimberleys as this country is just too big and beautiful to rush through it, therefore we had our farewell in another amazing Nationalpark - Kepp River.

Our visitors were looking forward to a bed, a cool breeze and a nice shower while we were heading into Kununarra to rest for three nights and have a holiday from the holiday....
