Up very early to fly up and over the Kimberly. Organised a tour with Aligator Air to fly us up over Ord River irrigation area, Wyndham, up to the coast, and along the coast. Past the perl farms and the eco resorts that charge $1000 a night.

Dropped down and landed at Kalumbaru which is at the top of the Kimberly, and Aboriginal mission settlement. Now government run. Interesting to see, and met some people who had driven all the way up (which took about a week or so). To finish off though they had been robbed the night before! Also now the local people don't work any more as the government hands out the benefits. We found out from the people at the mission that the locals used to help maintain a full market garden and bake bread daily. Now nothing, all too lazy.

Back in the air we travelled to Mitchell Falls, and then down to Drysdale Station for a hearty burger for lunch. Back in the air and return to Kununara by 2pm!

Back to the van for a rest, and swim and school work!
