Introducing Kununurra
Kununurra is a neat, pleasant town nestled beneath the red domes of Mirima National Park, with lovely Lily Creek Lagoon lapping at its shores. It was founded in 1960 as the centre for the Ord River irrigation scheme (an ambitious government incentive to harness the region’s water), and tourism developed quickly thanks to the proximity of the Gibb River Rd, Lake Argyle and Purnululu National Park.
