Kununurra

Grate Fishing Nice Place

Kununurra is known by the local Miriwoong people as 'Gananoorrang', and is situated in the far north eastern corner of Western Australia just a short distance from the Northern Territory border. Kununurra is centred around the Ord River, with several lakes at lagoons surrounding the town itself. There is a fabulous lookout from the town at Kelly's Knob, giving views all around the area. To the south of Kununurra, Lily Creek leads into the popular bird breeding ground of Lily Creek Lagoon, which continues into Lake Kununurra where there are plenty of different water activities on offer. Another popular water activity is fishing, which is best at either the Lower Dam or the Ivanhoe Crossing along the Ord River. You shouldn't swim in the river however, as there are crocodiles. Heading south east from the town you will pass the Packsaddle Plains, and a number of farms. Some of the farms allow you to have a look around, and many offer fruit picking work between May - September. North east of town is the beautiful Mirima National Park, which is home to the Hidden Valley. There are some very enjoyable walking tracks around the park, which is well worth visiting.
