We did the Ord River Experience with Riverside Lunch tour with Tripple J Tours. This was the best tour we did in Kununurra. The crew were excellent, very knowledgeable and provided extensive commentary on the river system, plants and animals and the Argyle Dam.

Perth's favourite playground, the Swan River is a stunning waterway which winds its way from the Darling Scarp to Fremantle. This natural attraction is popular location for Perth locals and visitors to enjoy a day out boating, fishing, skiing, paddling, swimming, picnicking or simply enjoying its vista.Rich in environmental and cultural values, the Swan River was named Derbal Yerrigan by the local Aboriginals who believe that the river was created by the rainbow serpent ‘Waugal’, a dreamtime spirit taking the form of a giant snake. It is believed that the Waugal created creeks, waterholes, lakes and valleys on its journey to the ocean.

Fantastic location for a few night's stay. Close enough for access to facilities, but private enough to feel like you have the island to yourself. Great family style cabins too with plenty of privacy and a stunning view.

What a beautiful place to visit. Caravan park right on the water, toilets and a general store. Great for paddle boarding or just lazing about on a lilo.
