Windy Wyndham…

Today we left Kununurra and headed to the coast to visit Wyndham.
On the way we stopped at a nice little lookout to view the Cockburn ranges.

Wyndham is the oldest and northernmost town in the Kimberley region of Western Australia, located over 2,000 kilometres north east of Perth. It was established in 1886 as a result of a gold rush at Halls Creek, and it is now a port and service centre for the east Kimberley. The town is split into two areas, the original town site of Wyndham Port is situated on Cambridge Gulf, while the main residential and shopping area of the town is on higher ground around to the left and away from the gulf.
Once in Wyndham we unhooked the caravans so we could head up to the five rivers lookout which looks over both Wyndham and Old Wyndham.
This vantage is so named because from here you can see where the Ord, Forrest, King, Durack and Pentecost rivers enter the Cambridge gulf.

The view from up top is pretty spectacular and you get a real sense for the way the tidal flats work in this region.
