So began the three day drive to Broome. First stop Warmun Roadhouse<\/a>, half way between Kununurra and Halls Creek. The travellers advice between Kununurra and Broome is that you do no stop in Halls Creek or Fitzroy Crossing if you can avoid it. If you need fuel then lock your car even if somebody is sitting in the passenger seats… So with that in mind we planned the trip to Broome over three days and stopping half-way to Halls Creek and half-way to Fitzroy Crossing.<\/p>\n\n\n

Warmun is a community that is about 200km from Kununurra and 160km from Halls Creek. The Warmun Roadhouse<\/a> is your typical Truckie stop with caravan sites out the back. It’s a great place for an overnighter and unlike Halls Creek and Fitzroy Crossing to come feels safe and secure. There’s really nothing to see or do there but we did take advantage of an afternoon to relax out of the heat.<\/p>\n\n\n

Like almost everywhere in the NT and WA, the sunsets are magnificent and always provide a colourful and flamboyant punctuation mark at the end of the day. Warmun held to form and presented us with yet another picture window display from the back ot the van.<\/p>\n\n\n

We did take advantage of the roadhouse diner and were pleasantly surprised to find that lamb shanks were on the menu that night. They were decently priced and properly braised to the ‘fall off the bone point’ and served on a mound of mash with veges. Not the most memorable lamb shanks we’ve ever had but hit the spot and set us up for the next day’s drive to Larrawa Station…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
