Day 13: Katherine to Warmun - 732 km

Neil and Dave departed Katherine to begin their journey westward. The scenery along the route, far from the anticipated long expanses of unchanging countryside, continued to surprise and intrigue them. The landscape and flora, in a constant state of evolution, revealed spectacular views that they couldn’t help but capture in their memories. Both agreed that they needed to redo the lap at a more leisurely pace to fully appreciate the unexpected beauty.

Today, they crossed into Western Australia. They encountered a quarantine checkpoint at the border, which didn’t concern them. However, others were held there for quite some time due to the thorough inspections.

When they rode into Kununurra, they were pleasantly surprised by the unexpected beauty of the lush green grass and the lake right on the edge of town. Although they initially planned to overnight there, the 90-minute time change and the fact that they both felt energized led them to decide to continue riding on to Warmun.

Along the way, they saw multiple flocks of birds and had some close encounters with Galahs and the occasional Eagle. They also spotted their first Dingo.
