Freshwater East Kimberley Digs in Kununurra

Flew in and out of Kununurra on day trips to Kalamburu, Wyndham & Halls Creek on Shoal Air. The friendly local air charter company. At the end of each 40 or 44 degree day returned to the magnificently large apartments. We had the outdoor shower in the enclosed courtyard every night. This was a my favourite part of the day. Glorious night and warm or cold water available too!! There is an indoor shower for the conventional people. A large well equipped kitchen in the apartment. There was not 1 but two bloody freezing cold air conditioners. It was so hot outside at 40 to 44 that I was forced to do indoor yoga and callisthenics instead running around outside. Thank the almighty & management for the 2 airconditioners. The pool was a god send & well wishes to all the pool users at 6am whom we shared laps in the pool with. The reception is only open from 8 to 5. The wifi does not work for apple mobile phones as it kept logging out of both the iphone 5 and 7. It was good for the windows laptop. Phone reception was good. As 1 night I had a 2.5 hour teleconference for a committee meeting to Perth and the mobile reception was good for the entire duration. This is the apartment to be in when you are in Knx. It also has a laundromat. Which I did not use. Check in time was fast and so was check out during office hours. Parking was free and easy to find as long as you don't park in the time share bays.

Oaks Broom

Flying in & out of Broome last two weeks. This week I got to stay in Broome after spending a day in Derby on a day trip by charter flight from Broome. BAS (Broome Air services) really put in the xtra mile to get us a plane & the pilot stayed with us all day in Derby. When we got back to Broome we stayed at the Oaks. Free parking. Run to lobby. Out of the heat into 3 minute check in at the lobby. Then into already airconditioned room with a fan on too. Chilled beer & wine glasses in the fridge. Drove to Woolworths store 10 minutes away. Got some refreshments and munchies. Then back into the airconditioning to watch a movie on the 5 or 6 available complementary movie channels. Then got up in the morning to swin in the lukewarm frehwater pool. Managed to swim 1km of 40 laps in a 25 meter pool over 40mins. heavenly bliss for the start of a hot day There was a toaster in the room to make toast for high carbs breakfast after the swim. Also fancy new temperature controlled kettle that you could use to boil hot water to poach eggs if you wanted. Literally a 1 minute check out. Then we went to Broome community town & later saw Tanya Ransom the local Broome songstress with a group of her friends. Should have asked for an autograph....... http://www.tanyaransommusic.com.au/ Worth a visit? Wifi was initially fast. Then kinda died on the phone but was ok on laptop.
