Kununurra is a beautiful town. Then there's the Bungles. However, when travelling between these two, take the time to go to Wyndam. It has a wonderful history. A great little museum, but best of all, the Five Rivers Lookout. If you are dragging a van, leave it in town. It is an easy drive for ordinary ca...
