El Questro lookout
After picking up Mark in Kununurra, we headed to El Questro, a former cattle station that has been turned into an outback resort. I was really impressed with El Questro - it had every level of outback adventure, from relatively primitive camping and bushwalking, all the way to a 5 star resort. In fact, two weeks before we got there, Nichole Kidman had been visiting after she finished shooting for the film Australia, in Darwin, and near Wyndham. We camped on the river.
This photo is up on a lookout overlooking the million acre station (basically everything you can see from this big hill, and then some). The road up to this lookout was quite interesting - definitely a 4WD road. Very steep, and with switchbacks so tight that if you didn't hit them just right, you had to back up and make a 3 point turn out of them. Unfortunately, also a popular place to drive for the sunset, so we ran into a bit of traffic. The view from the top was worth it though. And we finally got to have the sunset wine and cheese we'd been planning to have for nearly a week.
