Words from The Hoochery.  "Worth the drive! The Hoochery is located on The Dessert's family farm, 13 km out of Kununurra in the heart of the Ord Irrigation Area.  With a relaxing outdoor 'Gin Garden' and a rustic 'Rum Bar' serving lunch and bar snacks, cakes and coffee, cocktails and tastings.  There is something for everyone.  Come out for tastings of our Award-winning rums or for out delicious home-made cakes."

Husband and myself visited The Hoochery on one of our visits up north in the tropics.  We went in the winter and the temperature was about 30 deg C. as it is in that area.

Love this part of Australia, and the building was ever so clean inside, with staff so friendly and yes, we bought a bottle of rum.

Batman Bridge

The Batman Bridge built in 1966 - 1968 was the first cable stayed bridge in Australia is only about 30 minutes from home with a good run.  It was named after John Batman, a Tasmanian pioneer and the founder of the city of Melbourne.

The photos were taken on different days over time.

Several years ago people used to park their caravans all in the above area, there were toilets, picnic tables and the grass was mowed and green, then the local council in the area decided that no one could park their caravans there, toilets were removed and placed in another area, even some picnic tables and chairs were removed.  Now the area is just a place to look at the whirlpools in the Tamar River in that area.  I guess the locals didn't care for holiday makers and wanted to keep the area for themselves or something like that.
