Well done to both of you. A great read & lovely images too. Looking forward to further installments
We're heading through the Kimberley Region (Broome to Darwin) next September in a hired Maui mobile home via the bitumen & small side diversions. Looking forward to it.

Thanks Keith & Judy, I think you'll find plenty to love about the Kimberley, especially if it's your first visit. You do realise however that it's country which will draw you back for more. :)
I'm envious of your 600mm lens. Up until late last year I was using a 'superzoom' camera which gave me long reach, but when it's non removeable electrically operated lens became unreliable I bit the bullet & bought a mirrorless camera with interchangeable lenses. Much better quality images but my 'longest' lens now is a 55-210 + a 1.7x teleconverter. Often not long enough for bird shots & cumbersome to use. I can envisage future ownership of a longer lens, but need to find one to suit Sony e mount. Sony's offerings are super expensive & I haven't seen one over 400mm .

We know what you mean about country that draws you back. As you can see we did Cairns on our annual ''spoil ourselves'' 3 week fly/drive trip this year but in the previous 2 years we did 3 week trips to Darwin, Mary River, Kakadu, Katherine, Pine Creek & Adelaide River.
We were drawn back to Kakadu two years in a row though many people call it Kakadon't. Each to their own.
Our 25 night fly/drive rented motor home trip to the Kimberley area next year will be our first visit, we expect the same magnetic effect that Kakadu had on us.
The main thing with these areas is that you have to be prepared to walk in hot, humid conditions otherwise you won't get the full experience. Many folk don't.
Lugging 6000mm lenses around is pretty tough sometimes but well worth it.
