Ord Valley Muster in Kununurra, Western Australia
The Ord Valley Muster in Kununurra is Western Australia's biggest outback celebration. Over 10 days, it showcases the extraordinary diversity, talent and culture of the Kimberley communities and the awe-inspiring natural beauty of one of the last true wilderness areas on Earth.
As Frank Rodriguez, co-founder of the event, and the people of Kununurra prepared to host the 14th annual Ord Valley Muster, Tourism Western Australia caught up with some of the local characters that make this celebration a must-see.
Meet Spike, founder of The Hoochery -- the longest operating legal distillery in Western Australia. The Hoochery was the venue for the first ever Muster, and today hosts the ever-more popular Ord Valley Muster Comedy Show.
Meet Stockman Mitch Bradford, one of the riders competing in the Kununurra Bushman's Rodeo; Andrea Bolten of the Community Choir, who performed in Music Under the Stars; the extraordinary Waringarri Corriboree; and Matt Bamkin of 42 Decibel, one of the many great music acts creating the event crescendo, known as the Kimberley Moon Experience.

The Kununurra Celebrity Tree Park!
The charming town of Kununurra in Western Australia has a lot to boast about, but one of the quirkier attractions is the Celebrity Tree Park.
It's here that you can find trees planted by the great and the good within yards of each other. For example, HRH Princess Anne's contribution is just yards from Rolf Harris' which itself is a short stroll from Baz Luhrmann's.

Flying Australia - Kununurra to Ord River Dam
This video was filmed on 17th June 2016 using a GoPro Hero 3+ attached to the right wing strut of Cessna 172 VH-ICH. The flight commences at Kununurra Airport in Western Australia, then follows the Ord River for 55kms to the Ord River Dam. Making a left turn after takeoff, our track takes us past the Ord River Diversion Dam and Lake Kununurra. The lake formed behind the dam in 1963 to become part of the Ord River Irrigation Scheme. Further upstream, the lake narrows and reverts to its original status as the Ord River, travelling through the Carlton Gorge and eventually reaching the wall of the Ord River Dam. Behind the 98 metre dam wall lies the 1000 sq.km expanse of Lake Argyle, Australia's most under-utilised lake.
The houseboat at Kununurra on the Ord River
Probably the highlight of the trip - our homestay on the houseboat upstream from the Ord River dam at Kununurra.

BMP Haulage across the Diversion Dam (Kununurra)
Monday's sunset saw one of the largest loads to ever cross the Kununarra Diversion Dam.
Each load was approximately 7 metres wide and 6 metres tall, so it was a tight squeeze through the overhead gantry.
These giant Caterpillar 789 dump trucks and trays moved across the dam wall slowly one by one due to their huge weight. These monster Tonka trucks transported by BMP Haulage Australia come in close to 200t gross and were headed to the Northern Territory.
