The "infinity pool" at the resort.

There is a tour boat service on the Ord River, so we used it to take us to Kununurra for the night, before moving on. It was not a typical tourist boat. The skipper was terrific, and we sped along quite a bit. But the skipper knew where fresh water crocodiles are, and rock wallabies, so we stopped to watch them. Also pulled in for an afternoon tea break. Well worth enjoying.
