Left Katherine at 6.30am the rain was heavy, eventually found the road out of the place, first fuel and breakfast stop was at Victoria River then onto Timber Creek where we met a couple of Road Train drivers who warned us of deep water laying across the road in the causeways between here and Kununurra.
This proved to be good information and the roadside signage was a bit concerning as it showed the depth could get to 1.5 metres, when you look around and think for the water to get to that level it would have to cover a huge amount of ground because it is so flat around this area.
There was supposed to be a roadside stop manned by the support crew but everything was good at this point so we continued into Kununurra, arriving at about 1.00pm.
We found the room and sorted the wet gear out and had lunch, when we went back to the room to we found there were motorbikes in corridors alleyways and just about anywhere you could fit a bike so long as it was out of the rain. Management seemed very tolerant to us as a group and nothing fazed them, we walked around the town and that took about 1/2 and hour then back to the pub for dinner and the usual drinks with tales of the many kilometers travelled.
Total Klm's 5,435
