You never tire of looking at Boab trees in the Kimberleys. They are plentiful throughout the region. This one was not far from the turn off to the Argyle Diamond mine. We left Kununurra during an unseasonal wet period. Instead of travelling to Derby via the Gibb River road we had to stay on the bitumen as all dirt roads were closed.

The Carr Boyd Ranges are visible from the road on the way to Hall's Creek. They are quite spectacular. These ranges are to the North of the Bungle Bungles. We did not get to see them due to the road closures. Maybe when we retrace our steps after returning to Kununurra.
This photo is out of sequence in the trip. It shows part of a long limestone range which extends from the north west to south east of the Kimberleys. The limestone was formed by an Devonian underwater reef 350 million years ago. This shot is taken adjacent to the Geikie Gorge. Geikie Gorge is the result of the Fitzroy river cutting through the reef. Lime stone produces very interesting formations as it weathers away. Quite distinct from sandstone.
One of the reasons for setting off during the wet weather was the possibility of catching up with two of my uncles who were coming across on the Tanami track. Although the Tanami was closed they managed to get through and we met their party at Hall's Creek. They had a pretty uneventful trip apart from below zero temperatures. They did strike some mild wet weather to make matters more miserable. My uncles are the two gentlemen second and third from the left hand side. Laurie and Pat Pointing. All of these men have an affinity with horses and cattle and do one of these trips each year. They left us to travel on to Wyndham and then to Victoria River Station for a few days.
