Mary Nicholls shares the highlights of her trip to Ord River, Kununurra and uncovers what makes this destination so special.
The 55-kilometre jet boat cruise down the Ord River was one of the highlights of our trip to Kununurra – simply breathtaking! Wildlife was abundant with crocodiles (freshwater being our preference over saltwater crocs), rock wallabies, snake birds and lily-trotters – a tiny bird with webbed feet that appears to walk on water, hence its nicknames of “lotus” or “Jesus” bird.
For us, the Travelmarvel program managed to strike a perfect balance of opportunity for participants to experience, enjoy and relax throughout the trip, while also challenging our perspectives and indeed educating us on the richness, resources and breadth of opportunity Australia provides. May we never stop learning and celebrating both natural wonders and the creative talents.
