Hello everyone! Tan and country people than ever are writing from Kununurra fantastic! E'ndò fuck is you ask?! In the midst of the wild Kimberley region in north-west is famous for its crocodiles and unexplored areas raccontiamola beginning ... Well ... Almost persuaded to work for a while 'to Broome we had to change plans because the bids did not reflect what we wanted but above all there was to remain there for three months was the period required
everywhere. The past week is still pretty good and apart from some morning spent between resort in search of work and mechanical (a stone villain split the glass front of Tony) we enjoyed the full post visit its beautiful beaches, surfing a bit 'and drinking four beers at the disco! As we said the work gave us the hole as if by magic, but we are aware of a small town located
halfway to Darwin by the friendly name of Kununurra, which in aboriginal language means "big waters"! Mille were the mileage in two days and after a night in Halls Creek May 3rd we get straight to the agency where we accept it with the phrase: Do you want to work tomorrow? Perfect, unload the luggage, set up your tent in the garden of the friendly Kununurra Backpackers and set the alarm for the umpteenth Once the
4.30 am! At dawn we are obliged to "Rewards", the cultivation of mango Australia's largest and taught by Dave the manager and the two "old" place of Brandon and Craig (20 and 23 years the second!) Begins our new adventure shovel in hand!
It turned out much, much more interesting than expected so that we're working on for over a month! Fortunately we do not have these past four weeks just digging but pruning, planting, controlling irrigation, spraying herbicide and
cazzegiando with Kubota, a kind of tractor single speed 4X4 which is just laugh (however in the 45 km / h reaches them)! As can be seen in the photos available means are varied and drifting, and drifting mud are the order of the day! After all, what else do you want in a field!? However we must say that this is very important
is the atmosphere that surrounds us during working hours
, roads so funny that almost nine hours under the sun passes that we do not even realize ... After the first three hours and we have half the australianissimo
Smoke, is nothing but a paid half-hour break, after which another two and a half before the brake where a midday nap on the sidewalk is now of order unless you break the balls two dogs, Thomas the pig (and do not eat the whole mangibile!) and Sirus, a
half dingo that with his killer instinct in the veins locates in advance snakes and poisonous lizards from Metro's battleships in seal! The last two hours and not even calculate
shortly after the start of the new stuff in Rock and Classic FM radio across the
WA "The Big Breakfast" climb into the car and we return to the hostel! Here, as in Margaret River almost all the guys working in the farm share so bad but above all in the good times of the day, dinner and after dinner the best hours sitting at the table when we tell the front of a VB (beer or Very Bad for Good Vibration)!
Most Ale hours spent in recent weeks to get hurt at the skate park with his new
Rollerblade Downtown II, the series for a few Schei beautiful shoes!
The Michael instead he had the good fortune to find a local hook, which led him to Dan, Jenni, and Kaisa (friend of the hostel from Finland) the first time in Emu Creek, a beautiful gorge that extends to a source of
turnout Horde River (pictured) and the second at El Questro, a territory that extends one million acres in the middle of the Kimberly (see picture below). It 's amazing how many places to visit around
town, the nearest and most easily accessible is a beautiful lookout for even a mile from the hostel at sunset where you have a wonderful view of the place, you can see which also appears in the picture Elesha, a friend known to the Australian rodeo. This has also brought a couple of times to swim at the "Grotto" a stupendous natural basin where you can jump from the rocks with a rope or
refresh under the waterfall. Among the many places do not forget the "Litt
the Bangle" that the name of the beautiful natural park which stretches for several kilometers to a few steps from the town and features unique rock structures as seen in photos where Alicia (Belgian friend) sits on top of the hill! Given the uncertain continuation of our trip we tried the fortune by selling at a price that Tony is a net beneficiary and not even a week after we receive the call of Franco! Yes, that Franco, an Italian immigrant
in '72 and he was looking for a car to bring the little daughter and her friends to fish! So having dusted off from our past business we are in the pocket more than $ 700 in to what we had paid (to climb various checks and broken glass)! We would like to specify that the Tony that money was worth them all! The rainy season has just ended and for several months you will not see a drop
fall from the sky, perfect time to fill the weekend with several festivals and concerts. the first Saturday and immediately began to 100 per hour with a rodeo! Who had ever seen a rodeo?! Too cool to see all dressed up with cowboy hats, vests and boots with the tip! At the end we were probably the wildest horses ... Ale is back home with his indelible signature on the T-shirt (one of her favorites) of the "famous" cantante
country Troy Casser Daly!!! Sfortunatamente la magia della tecnologia ci ha tavanato la fotografia, la nostra amica Elesha trafficando con la macchina ha cancellato ben 150 foto, nonché tutto il viaggio da Broome e le prime due settimane a Kununurra!!! Due cani, due gatti, due pesci e il tutto è nel dimenticatoio!
Il secondo weekend abbiamo assistito per “soli” $60 al “Kimberly Full Moon Experience”, una manifestazione canora di gruppi locali e alcuni special guests. La serata è stata carina se non altro per il fatto che ognuno poteva portarsi il necessario per un picnic sul prato in stile S. Marco!!!
Settimana successiva è stato il turno delle finali "The Idol" which sounds so famous that, all is nothing but a famous race
Karaoke room at the Hotel Kununurra! Definitely a show and understand that it was not for sure for the skill of the singers! Another evening laughable! After that Friday we could not avoid a couple of nights in the same place showing our vocal abilities, obviously without any competition!
icing on the cake of our country experience was the wonderful tour by canoe along the Ord River (seven previous photos), the river formed by building a huge dam for irrigation. The group consisted
Jenny and Kaisa for
Finnish team, Mariko for Japan and for us Cordovat! Divided into three canoes with everything you need to camp in three days to follow at 8 am on Friday 2 / 6 start to paddle! Among the wonderful
Carlton Gorge 25 kilometers were made and there have been several sightings of crocodiles, beautiful spot where you take a bath and Ale and Kaisa lanciansi water over 10 meters high (see picture)! The evening was beautiful
and after a barbecue under the stars at 9 am we were already toward the tent. The second day Herbies Hideaway reached a natural pool with a very interesting walk 20 minutes between lianas and shrubs us refreshed for a couple of hours, then off to cut wood for the evening! Other barbecue, raffles of four small Kaisa from the elbow up and the next morning, after another couple of dives we are at Zebra Rock, Dus to Kununurra, over a place where you can dine outdoors is pos sible to buy
these particular stone carvings zebra. A lunch on the lawn beside the river and after a few minutes spent observing the ancient Aboriginal art (2000 years) at the foot of Rock Elefant arrived, tired but very happy at the arrival point where Kenton, the owner of the hostel and Blasco of the Kununurra, brings us back home! The last photo we see the wonderful expressions of the two who were awakened in the night of June 1 by a choir of Happy Birthday for Jenni's birthday.
Important note is that since last June 6 at the moment our paths have split! Jenni is waiting for a friend and together with Michael Darwin will spend the next few weeks between Kakadu National Park, Alice Springs and Cairns and Ale has decided to delay the departure of a couple of weeks. We told her and I will let you know as soon as possible!
Mandi!
