We were very sad to leave the Kimberleys, but very glad to leave the corrugated roads! But the road into Keep River was corrugated, so we were not quite out of it.
Before we got to Kununurra, we saw a Jabiru flying overhead – quite a thrill.
The Robs did a bit of shopping and filled the car etc while I did the blog uploads!
At this point, RMS had seen 37 new birds and even he was happy with that! When we left Keep River, he totalled 40 new birds.
We decided to go to Keep River N.P. as we had time, and it was another good birding spot as well as very pretty. (We had stayed there on the way up).
The camp was nearly full when we arrived but we found a spot, and when we came back from a beautiful walk, (the rocks are similar to those in the Bungles) there were lots more people there, even a tent pitched almost beside our van!
We called in to Cockatoo Lagoon on the way out, and were treated to the sight of 2 Brolgas flying low overhead.
Later, we saw 4 more flying over, calling loudly and dangling their long legs as they prepared for landing!
Rob S had a great view of a Pheasant Coucal that landed in a tree close by.

We have had such wonderful close sightings of so many birds.
