Most of the adventures have arrived in Katherine ready for the start of the trip on Sunday morning. Great to catch up with old friends and also meet some new members. Hope they can drink  :cheers:

The group is enjoying a few days at Lake Argyle after visiting Zebra Rock Mine.

Some of us went on a fishing trip and even Mark VS caught a fish. Your's truly caught the first fish as expected.

Our adventurers are currently relaxing in Kununurra for 5 nights after spending a few days at Lake Argyle.

We got permission to all park on the dam wall for some drone pics.

Apologies for the delay as we have been out of phone range for a number of weeks. The McGirrs and the VS's arrived in Derby this afternoon. The others are still on the Gibb at the Gorges. A few issues along the way but that will have to wait for the trip report. Nothing serious though.

The group is like one big family.

Here are some pics so far.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180609/c45b2eefb2134255f02e4a2fde333ec4.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180609/97cca27e1548b3f1141610485a9daee0.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180609/1290135edc3731e52774e7b5a3c10a84.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180609/24f8b853e6e9ee285ace1843ffc8cd78.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180609/f29fe32628225293e2644ba9155fa6b5.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180609/e916117a7f3d31c7cb212f11eaa03e84.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180609/439a2cc62c119298502a575dcee85b46.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180609/e26a4829f49f248c5d4397443b8ff27d.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180609/9e02c5fba3fe27d7e3e5bb52c2f7c70d.jpg)

Apologies for the lack of updates but we are all too busy enjoying ourselves. Most of the group took tours to the Horizontal waterfalls. We all had a fantastic time and well worth the going. We are all in Broome relaxing for a few days then head up to Cape Leveque for 13 nights.

Over 10,000 photos taken so far by everyone.
