Description
A tourist’s photo opportunity
When I arrived in the Kununurra township I spotted this fun photo opportunity. I admired the artwork which included a boab tree.
For this cache I’d like you took a photo with boab and log it as found.
Please see my photo as E.G. of what I’d like to see from you!
There have another cache not far from this site called ‘Kununurra Visitor Centre - GC1KC3X’
Happy Hunting.

The Big Western Australia trip in 2018. Day 14. A morning in and around Kununarra was followed by a Ord River crossing as the Ivanhoe crossing and a back roads trip to Windham for dusk.
The Boabs in this area are so symbolic of the Kimberly
Thanks

A quick visit while in K town today. A little confusing with the other closeby cache though. Thanks to Everlasting for the cache.

We thought it was going to be the real one nearby until the GPS told us to go over there. Yes, that's a GPS I'm holding; no I don't want to pose thank you! I look dorky enough in shorts as it is. Nice one Everlasting.

As I'm travelling by myself this is the best photograph I could supply. TFTC Everlasting.

OMG, it’s 5.30pm and it’s dark already, LOL, you’d think it would be at least easier to get the kids to bed, sigh, not to be. It’s been so hectic for the last week or so, it starts to catch up with you, early mornings, too late a night’s, rushing here and there, sooner or later you just need to have a rest day, or two even would be good. So today we just chilled out, the kids took turns washing the car, I fixed Charlies flat tyre on his bike, which I found out only needed to be pumped up, lol, after I had taken the whole wheel off and pulled the tube out again to find there was no puncture as suspected, I just had not pumped it up after I had repaired it in Halls Creek. Ha Ha, that’s what happens after a while of go, go, go, you start to lose the plot.
We had a quick trip into town to drop off mail at the post office then we went to the tourist office to find a cache “A tourist’s photo opportunity, GA1370”, this was a fun one for the kids, thanks Everlasting. Nearby we also found another cache “Info @Kununurra, GC2BZFN“, I spent ages looking for it on the wrong structure and almost gave up but checked the iPhone and saw that I was too far from GZ, we moved closer and Jacki found it straight away, lol. Jacki and the kids did a bit more running around shops while I went on a muzee hunt, I found 2 out of the three in town by WanderingAus (one was missing), we then returned to the caravan for lunch. The kids did some school work while I relaxed outside in the annex and when they had completed their required quota for the day we went off to cool down in the very cold pool. After a cuppa we went off to find another nearby cache “WanAus 107 Ivanhoe’s Rest, GC1V3NN“, this was a quick find without having to use the iPhone to navigate and found it in the first place I looked, I think that’s what you call a Gaff 1 Keith, lol.
Later in the afternoon we went for a drive to watch the sunset and look for a cache “Kelly’s Knob Lookout, GC1KEPN”, unfortunately this one was a DNF, I think it’s gone awol. The views from the top of the Knob were surprisingly spectacular, despite not being the highest peak. The sunset was a bit of a non event as a large cloud band was moving in from the south, seems we may be getting some rain tomorrow. From the top of the lookout we could see a magnificent panorama out to the west, beneath us lay an irrigation channel stretching out along the wide flat plains with plumes of smoke from some fires in the distance, a range of hills rose up on the horizon running to the south. Below us was the tree lined streets of the town and to the south beyond the town limits rose up some sharp tooth like hills and behind us loomed an impressive jagged rocky mount, we could see people at the top and wondered how to get there, a trip for another day maybe.
With the sunset soon followed the early darkness, we drove around looking for the coop to buy fuel and once refuelled it was again time to return to the caravan for dinners, showers and bed.

This boab tree is somewhat different to others we have seen today - for a start it doesn't have someone's initials carved in it! TFTC Everlasting
Passed this spot several times, made an effort to take a photo this time and logged. Thanks, Everlasting.

Who can resist these? This is Lady Morris and Geogirl about to get info on the Gibb River Rd. TFTFC
WanderingAus wandered by on day 14 of a "climatic refugee" trip, heading North for the winter, and took the requisite photo.
