We stayed at Kimberleyland Holiday Park. This Park has quite a lot of nicely shaded sites and is a very lovely place to stay for a couple of days. The first day we arrived we shopped as we had to hand over all our fruit and vege at the WA border. We had actually given ours to some people heading east at Timber Creek but it meant we'd had 2 days with just tinned fruit (which it turns out the kids won't eat). We also bought some ice creams as our fridge hadn't been coping at all with the high temperatures and humidity.
There was a "resident" freshwater crocodile and jabiru in the lake that came and visited the caravan park every day. They would often hang out close together, at the shoreline. The crocodile had no teeth and we were told it was because it had had some disease and so had lost all its teeth. There were some seats right near the waters edge and they were a great place to watch the sun set, the moon rise, the crocodile and jabiru and talk to other travellers.

There was a ginormous boab tree in the caravan park, which is estimated to be around 2000 years old!
Kununurra is home to very large plantations of Indian Sandalwood and you can go to the Sandalwood business and watch a promo dvd, which really doesn't tell you much, and buy sandalwood products. There is an onite cafe and the food looked delicious, just a bit too pricey for us.
You can also visit a Hoochery (rum distillery), zebra rock shops and art galleries showcasing Indigenous and local artists. We ended up staying 4 nights as Rory had a chesty cough and we wanted to get him checked out at the doctors.
