Hi Mike,
Have a great trip. It is the best corner of Australia. Just don't forget to pack the
aeroguard as the flies during some times of the year there can really
be something else and will seek out every bit of moisture on your body.
Few things are as annoying as having your eye up to the viewfinder of the camera
and the little buggers try to get in at the corners of your mouth.
Oh, and watch out for that death adder that Lachlan MacDonald stumbled on
and got bitten by in the Bungle Bungles without realizing it until he started throwing up
a hundred km down the road.
If the chance permits to go in a copter over and through the Bungle Bungles, it is quite an experience.
They have crashed and people died, so it is not without peril but the scenery is phenomenal.
Pack your swimmers. There will be plenty of opportunities in the Kimberley where you can
take a welcome dip in the refreshing waters of a gorge.
If you stay or drop in at the Drysdale River Station on the way up to Mitchell Falls, wander
out to the big shed where you might be lucky to catch the jackaroos working on their buggies.
Have a portrait lens affixed as the there are plenty of National Geographic portrait moments in
that shed if people are working there. It can be a bit like out of Mad Max. It is such a different
Australia at places like that, it feels like being in a different country at times.
