Australia 2002

The Kimberley, W.A.

and also the big surprise for Mum and Dad

"Well I didn't know I was looking for them."

Mum's explanation as to why she didn't recognise her daughter

and son-in-law until they were 5 foot away.

John and Eve's trailer and tent plus our space pod (tent)

Pearl Farm at Willie Creek, Broome. Unfortunately these waters are croc infested.

Cable Beach, Broome. So what if we nearly got the 4WD stranded on the dunes?

My mate Peshwar, the camel. Cable Beach, Broome.

Is it any wonder that Fitzroy Crossing used to get cut off in flood season?

Windjana Gorge.

Little did we know that the cars were about to become toast in the bush fire outside the gorge.

Tunnel Creek - this is a 750m tunnel where Pigeon, an Aborigine who murdered a white policeman, hid for 3 years. Getting through the tunnel involves a torch and getting wet. Choose the wrong path and you're up to your neck in water.

Ann and Dad hunt for entrance	Found it	"Ooh the dog's done a whoopsy in the garden"

Helicopter flight over the Bungle Bungles

"Do you receive me? Over"	"Trevor! .... don't jump"
