Kununurra

Chris out on the jetty feeding the fish at the Zebra Rock Gallery

Thursday 9th and Friday 10th June 2011:

Kununurra - is the gateway to Western Australia and the Kimberley region. The town is one of the youngest in WA, (gazetted in 1961), and was developed through the construction of the Ord Irrigation Scheme.

Kununurra features extensive waterways and rugged landscapes.

Chris and I are leaving Kununurra for a few days and travelling north to Wyndham, but will be back to Kununurra, when we will further sight see the interesting places of interest here and around Kununurra.

from the top of the lookout onto the Hidden Valley Caravan Park, where we stayed.

The beautiful Zebra Rock (polished). This rock is only found in the ground around the Kununurra area.

The rock is cut, polished and then manufactured into jewellery, coasters, wine racks and almost any imaginable object.

No two pieces of Zebra Rock are identical.

Feeding the fish on a jetty on the property of the Zebra Rock gallery. Hundreds of fish appear.

A sign says 'Feeding only, No fishing'.
