John and I have been to the Kimberley region three times now and each time we find new things to experience. We stayed at the Discovery Holiday Park for three night. It's on Lake Kununnurra, we were told the bats were a problem but we coped with them ok even hearing the chatter at 3am and the smells.
The park put on a Barra and beef night while we were there and the funds raised go to Care Flight. The meal was delicious.
Our favourite tour we have done was the triple J tour on the Ord river. The four of us had a great day. We were picked up at 11.30 am and taken by bus to Lake Argyle first, a trip of 70klms then a fast boat ride down the Ord River back to Kununurra, 55klms away. Our guide stopped the boat to show us crocs and bird life along the river and explained the Ord river system to us. Kununurra is a big irrigation area growing a lot of sandalwood and fruit crops.
We were dropped off after the cruise at the boat jetty at our park.

We also drove out to Mimima NP the following day to see the mini Bungle Bungles. The rock markings are similar to the Bungle Bungles. It was a pleasant walking along the boardwalk. The park is close to town.
All four of us enjoyed Kununarra, of course we shopped for groceries and got scripts made up at the chemist as we knew our next stop Timber Creek would be a bit more isolated.
