The drive between Home Valley and El questro was incredibly rocky and rugged and we also had to cross the mighty Pentecost River. When we made it to the end of the Gibb River Road we drove to Wyndham to meet the Rippons at the Five Rivers lookout. From this lookout you can view the Ord, Forrest, King, Durack and Pentecost Rivers that merge with the Cambridge Gulf.

We spent our last night with the Rippons at Parry's Creek farm tourist resort where we enjoyed an evening swim and pizza from the restaurant. The boys had fun cane toad hunting and managed to catch 21 cane toads. The next morning Craig went with some of the Rippons to the Billabong down the road to view all the early morning bird life that frequented the area.
The next day we drove to Kununurra in convoy with the Rippons and we checked into the Ivanhoe van park, where mum and dad were waiting for us. The Rippons came over to the van park for lunch and a swim before it was time to say goodbye. This goodbye came a little earlier than we expected and it was very sad to leave them once again. Now, for the rest of the trip we were on our own.
