It may have taken us almost 6 months, but thanks to our great road trip around Australia, we’ve finally realised that the best places tend to lie at the end of the dirt track. And perhaps, you could say, the longer the dirt track, the better the prize! And so it was with Cygnet […]

Arriving at Discovery Parks – Lake Kununurra felt a little bit like we’d stepped into a dream. We hadn’t expected much from the town of Kununurra in Western Australia, thinking it would be little more than the usual Outback pit stop affair. Yet here we were, stood on the end of a gorgeous blue […]
