26 - 29 Sept
This is a really new town - established in 1961 (I think) to build the Argyle Dam on the Ord River. We dropped in to Lake Argyle on the way to Kununurra. It's a big Lake - what more can I say?

Here in Kununurra, you can be there from 8am to 7pm. You are allowed to eat, drink (There's a good esspresso machine)and talk in the library. There is a table set up with a power board for your laptop, free internet use for research (or pay for email or social networking usage) and activities for kids. Apart from swimming in the pool and a trip to the Ivanhoe Crossing, that's where we have been working and playing for the last couple of days.

Millie and Bro have been having a great time playing with Theo; Grace and Hannah. John has caught up on some work, Fabian found all the science work his teacher set on Moodle, and Millie found all the mathematics homework set by hers on Mathletics. Fabian is mostly looking after his own school work and Maggie is helping oversee Bro and Millie's work. We've downloaded and printed out the music for Fabian play for the PAU (Performing Arts Unit) stage band auditions next month. We are going to video his audition and send it in.
There are always little maintenance jobs to do. I replaced the bearings on the bicycle as they had become very crunchy. Also I removed the cable from the 12V flouro work light which only lasted a few weeks and used it to extend the cable on the replacement light. When tightening the trailer brakes, I noticed cracks in the welds of both spring hangers. I'm not sure how long they've been there.
Tomorrow we head for Purnululu National Park commonly know as the Bungle Bungles. I'll try to get them welded up soon.
