Fitzroy River

Hey Yo

After a 5 day drive across Australia, we’ve finally made it to Fitzroy Crossing, and laid eyes on the beast. It’s Chocolate brown, big, fast, flowing through tree tops and will most likely get bigger. Woo Hoo…one more sleep till we’re off, I can’t wait to watch the planes fly off and get to our new home for the next month, the banks of the Fitzroy River. Feels like it’s been a long time coming after the mega hot drive across 5000km of desert. To see what we’ve been up to so far, check out my blog, www.louiseurwin.blogspot.com

We fly out to the river at the crack tomorrow morning so from here on in we’ll be sending updates via sat phone. You can follow our progress at www.kayakthekimberley.com

Here begins the adventure, fingers crossed for sick waves, big rapids, beautiful scenery & culture and minimal crocs, flies, snakes & spiders…good times!
