Love it, thanks for sharing. Karijini is not to be missed, but as you have shown so far there is so much more in the north west we still have to discover. Looking forward to following in some of your footsteps next year on our way back to the Kimberley.

Beautiful pictures! Looks like you've had a blast. One of my bucket list destinations is Greece, I like the serenity and the rocky coast. Does anyone know some similar places in Australia? I'd go there asap
