A year ago today we moved here to this town called Kununurra that we now call home. Stepping off that plane, dazed, immediately wrapped in a warm blanket of heat and humidity. Welcomed by strangers that have become friends. Our thoughts ranged from "What have we done??" to "How exciting!! What an adventure!" We think we are pretty lucky to have scored Kununurra as a placement, such a beautiful corner of Australia. I can see us staying up here for awhile.... To celebrate 365 days here, we went out this afternoon to Middle Springs. We had been here
once before, but this time we went to the same place but somewhere a little different.
We walked up the side of the falls, followed the stream. It wasn't a hard walk, 10 minutes or so.
Took in the sights along the way! We have had a few decent days of rain this week and so the waterfalls are flowing.
And up the top is a collection of flowing pools. Some where waist deep, others knee deep, others a few meters deep. All connected by the stream rushing through. I tried a self timer shot but couldn't get back in time! Yes, I am wearing shoes in the water, we all wear them, our trekking shoes we call them. My camera battery died after I took the first photo in this post. The pool in the first photo was on the other side of the pool above. The water fell into the next pool, it was so beautiful up there. I was cross my camera battery died, we will just have to go back again.

Too bad your battery died. Those were delightful pictures......especially the one with you and your family!
How lovely. I would love to live in a place like that also, would spend so much time outside with my camera as well. Can't wait till you go back again and post more photos, they are so relaxing to look at.
Beautiful, beautiful scenery. It looks like a wonderful day.
Ahhhh gorgeous! Great way to celebrate your year there!!
Gosh, what a beautiful place, and for the first time, I'm not afraid a croc photo is coming b/c I'm pretty sure they are not hill climbers. Happy Kununurra anniversary, well done everyone making this beautiful place your new home!
Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous!
So glad you guys are having such a great time
Yes... well.... what a drag you'll have to go back to that amazing place for more pictures ;) Lovely place, must have been a lovely family outing!
