Another trip to the Kimberley's with some old friends
This is our third trip to the Kimberley's, the first in 2000, then 2015 and we're heading back now with the same six adults (we've left our children home!) that went away in 2000. The plan changed a bit with the recent cyclones that belted the Kimberley's; the original trip had us heading north from Adelaide then turning west along the Buchanan highway to the Bungle Bungles, but that road got blown out (along with others). So this trip has us heading west along the Nullarbor, then up the coast to Broome where the six of us with jump on a cruise for 12 days. We'll then head back through the Pilbara, Laverton then the Great Central Road past Ayres Rock and home along the bitumen to Adelaide.
