Kununurra in the Wet

Yes I have a wonderful job....

This month, March 2008, I took a 3 day work trip to the town of Kununurra, about 3,500km from Perth or a 3 1/2hour flight (give or take stops along the way). I had two meetings and was also undertaking two climate Change presentations...

This trip I flew with Skywest via Argyle Diamond Mind (ADM). Great view of the mine (if you happen to like mines), the Carr Boyd Range, Kununurra and the lower dam wall - all from the air.

I didn't take all these photos so enjoy... You'll see images of me at work in my PPE, presenting the 'Al Gore' Climate Change Message at work and at ADM, and a little bit of sight seeing...

Broome in the Wet

I was lucky to travel to Broome for work in February. The Kimberley has two seasons known as either "The Wet" or "The Dry".

The difference is generally self explanatory.

The Wet (September - April) is wet, steamy, thunderstorm, cyclones, humidity, hot, very hot and sometimes extremely hot (especially when standing next to 1.5MW gas engine inside a sea container in full PPE), limited tourists and may locals have gone on holiday's in the south. It is also the peak time for energy production due to the air-con needs.

The Dry (May - August) is the complete opposite. It is the Dry, late June to be specific that I, my cousin and two German friends I met on the way to Iceland in 2006 will be riding from Broome to Kununurra (18-days). More about this trip soon......

In between catching up with friends, 3 meetings & my 5th 'Al Gore' Climate Change presentation I managed to take some photos of the landscape.

ENJOY
