Well we finally got the car into a garage to find the fuel filter has given up the ghost and worse then that the transmission is no longer with us .
So much for getting a good service in Broome before we set off !
Apart from the cost to get the parts they need to be freighted to the garage from Perth which will take three days .
Looking at now having to be here another week with no car to get us around .
Looking to do a three night kayak down the Ord river at the weekend to get out in the bush and seeing the bungle bungles early next week
Weather now getting really hot during the day and the evenings are balmy .
Kununarra still quite busy with grey nomads but the next few weeks will see the caravans taper off due to the heat and the start of the wet season coming .
Must admit two weeks in Kununarra was not the plan but better it happened here then a couple of weeks ago .

Kununurra
Booked a boat trip today from Kununurra to the Argyle dam which is about 55kms each way.
Set off about midday up the river to a beautiful backdrop with a half full boat ( we were about the youngest on the boat).
Whizzed up the on the way up to the dam wall then slowly cruised back with commentary about the area. Stopped for afternoon tea on the river bank .lots of wildlife to see
Beautiful sunset .
Baked beans on toast and chardonnay for dinner .
A good day.
Off to the races tomorrow to try and make the $750 back we spent on tyres yesterday. Last day of the racing calander here and if Broome races are a gauge it should be a very interesting and dusty day.as usual will pick horses names that relate to Rebs and Tom !
