<p style="font:12px Helvetica;margin:0;">The Kimberly region of Western Australia is about 35% larger than Germany, with a</p>
<p style="font:12px Helvetica;margin:0;">population of 38,000 scattered across 6 towns and a bunch of mines and cattle stations.  If you saw the movie Australia, which we haven&#8217;t, the Kimberley plays a part of the background or something.  I guess we need to see it.</p>
<p style="font:12px Helvetica;min-height:14px;margin:0;">
<p style="font:12px Helvetica;margin:0;">Our first stop in the Kimberley was The Bungle Bungles Range.  A couple of weeks ago someone in a caravan park told us not to bother with The Bungle Bungles because it&#8217;s a lot of painful driving with no reward.  We&#8217;re glad we didn&#8217;t listen to that crackhead.</p>
<p style="font:12px Helvetica;min-height:14px;margin:0;">
<p style="font:12px Helvetica;margin:0;">The park has, of course, badass trees and awesome rocks.  But the rocks are what made this place a World Heritage area.  There you find striped rock domes as well as some pretty stunning chasms.  The area wasn&#8217;t &#8220;discovered&#8221; until the mid-1980s.  How cool is that?  This country is so big and unexplored that something like this was found just 25 years ago. -jp</p>
<p style="font:12px Helvetica;min-height:14px;margin:0;">
<p style="font:12px Helvetica;min-height:14px;margin:0;">
<p style="font:12px Helvetica;margin:0;">Die Kimberleys / Die Bungle Bungles</p>
<p style="font:12px Helvetica;min-height:14px;margin:0;">
<p style="font:12px Helvetica;margin:0;">Die Kimberleys ist eine Nationalparkregion 35% größer als Deutschland und mit nur 38.000 Einwohnern. Kein Wunder, hier würd ich auch nicht wohnen wollen. Es ist schön, keine Frage! Nette Schluchten, tolle Bergformationen etc. aber diese Hitze, das ist unerträglich. Ich glaube wir hatten hier mind. 45 Grad Celsius!! Echt und dabei zu wandern ist einfach nur zum dahin schmelzen und das nicht im positiven Sinne <img src='http://s1.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p style="font:12px Helvetica;min-height:14px;margin:0;">
<p style="font:12px Helvetica;margin:0;">Da wir ja aber nicht doof sind, sind wir früh um 5Uhr (!) aufgestanden und haben den &#8220;kühlen&#8221; Morgen genutzt uns die wirklich atemberaubende Natur anzuschauen. -mk</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 410px"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/breakfastwithkangaroos/4003846445/"><img class=" " title="Sunset on Keep River National Park" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2646/4003846445_a265dd24fb.jpg" alt="Sunset on Keep River National Park" width="400" height="266" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Sunset on Keep River National Park</p></div>
<p style="font:12px Helvetica;margin:0;">We left NT for Western Australia and weird things happened.  First, there&#8217;s a quarantine center on the border where you have to give up all your fruits, vegetables, seeds, and most of all your honey.  They&#8217;re really strict about it, especially the honey.</p>
<p style="font:12px Helvetica;min-height:14px;margin:0;">
<p style="font:12px Helvetica;margin:0;">We knew about it already and we stopped at Keep River National Park, right on the NT and WA border.  Considering we only went there to eat our fruit and veggies (hey Nina, we had salsa!), we were pleasantly surprised by it.  There were badass trees and awesome rock backgrounds.  There was an easy 2km walk around some of the escarpments that we took in the morning before leaving.</p>
<p style="font:12px Helvetica;min-height:14px;margin:0;">
<p style="font:12px Helvetica;margin:0;">After that we went to the border to surrender our food and immediately gained 90 minutes.  See, when you go into NT from Queensland there&#8217;s a 30 minute time zone change which is just silly.  Then when you go into WA there&#8217;s a staggering 90 minute change.  Meaning tonight the sun goes down in the Kimberly at, like 5pm.  Asinine.</p>
<p style="font:12px Helvetica;min-height:14px;margin:0;">
<p style="font:12px Helvetica;margin:0;">Needless to say, the Coles on the WA side of the border charged a shitload for fruit and vegetables and the gas prices were higher than on Cape York.</p>
<p style="font:12px Helvetica;min-height:14px;margin:0;">
<p style="font:12px Helvetica;margin:0;">Oh yeah, between the border and Kununurra, the first town you come to in WA is Lake Argyle.  It&#8217;s Australia&#8217;s second largest reservoir and it&#8217;s frikkin&#8217; huge.  We went swimming which was nice, especially since it was about a thousand degrees outside. -jp</p>
<p style="font:12px Helvetica;min-height:14px;margin:0;">
<p style="font:12px Helvetica;min-height:14px;margin:0;">
<p style="font:12px Helvetica;margin:0;">Keep River National Park &#8211; eigentlich wollten wir gar nicht mehr anhalten vor den Kimberleys, aber ein nettes Gesetz schreibt vor, du darfst kein Obst, Gemüse, sämtliche Körner und Honig mit nach Western Australia  nehmen. So haben wir im benannten NP angehalten um zu übernachten um unser Obst, Gemüse und den leckeren Honig aufzuessen anstatt wegzuschmeissen. Ja, wir haben gewußt, dass wir kein Obst haben dürfen, aber die Sache mit dem Honig und dem Gemüse war uns nicht bewußt. Ich war ganz schön genervt davon, da ich es nen Quatsch finde innerhalb eines Kontinets so ein Geschiss zu machen. Ich meine, wenn diese Fruchtfliegen rüberfliegen wollen, dann fragen die nicht, ob da ne Grenze ist. Und vorallem war ich sauer, weil wir unser schönes Gemüse wegwerfen mußten und dann natürlich Neues in Western Australia kaufen mussten. Ich denke ja, dass ist nur zum ankorbeln der Wirtschaft, denn der Supermarkt war auch sauteuer! Bastards!!</p>
<p style="font:12px Helvetica;margin:0;">
<p style="font:12px Helvetica;margin:0;">Die zusätzliche Übernachtung jedoch hat sich gelohnt, denn der Park war wirklich sehr schön und am Morgen konnten wir nen schönen Spaziergang um die Berge machen. -mk</p>
