It is not often that one gets an opportunity to see skilled craftsmen
turn rocks that are 600 million years old into quality pieces of
jewelery, brought together with pearls and other semiprecious stones.
However this is exactly what Bruce Livett gets to see happen on a
daily basis, as the Owner of Zebra Rock Gallery in Kununurra.

KUNUNURRA WA WESTERN AUSTRALIA part 1 oof 2 parts
caravan trip 2007 Kununurra is a town in far northern Western Australia located at the eastern side of the Kimberley Region close to the border with the Northern Territory. It is the largest town in Western Australia north of Broome, with 5,485 inhabitants, many of whom are Indigenous Australians. It is 3040 kilometres from Perth by road. Kununurra comes from the Miriwoong language and means big water. The town is located close to the confluence of the Ord and the Dunham River. Lake Argyle, Australia's largest artificial lake, over 100 km² in size, is 72 km from the town. The town is relatively new and was gazetted in the late 1950s, at the time that the Ord River Irrigation scheme was set up. The scheme involved damming the Ord River and building a diversion dam 50km downstream so that the waters can be directed to irrigate about 750 km² of land. By 1966 there were 31 farms on the Ord River plains. By 1972 the second stage of the scheme was completed with the opening of the Lake Argyle Dam. Kununurra AirportThe town also has a 'Celebrity Tree Park' with many trees planted by famous people including Rolf Harris. The town has many local attractions, including waterfalls, gorges and ranges. It was voted the second best town to live in in Australia for outdoor adventure by Outdoor Australia magazine in the March/April 2007 edition. The landscape surrounding Kununurra includes features such as Valentine Spring, Black Rock Creek and Middle Springs along with many other waterfalls and swimming holes. Popular fishing spots include Ivanhoe Crossing, The Diversion Dam, Buttons Crossing, and various locations along the Dunham and Ord Rivers. wikipedia

Breaking zebra stone
I bought a load of rough zebra stone and have to break it open to show a clean, fresh surface. It's from Kununurra in Western Australia and over 600 million years old.

Packsaddle Springs shower @ Kununurra, WA
Packsaddle Springs is located 18km from the Packsaddle Rd turn off, Kununurra.
This local walk is not on the tourist map. The walk itself is not tagged or officially marked out, however following the river course, the river bed and common adventurous sense will find you looping around and climbing cascades, numerous waterfalls and a selection of swimming holes. This walk is simply spectacular!! Allow 3-4 hrs return walk time, but seriously allocate the day. You won't want to rush back!!!
So if you wanna experience this beauty, ask a local for directions. Or check out our travel blog for Mud Maps.
