13 August – Kununurra

Today was a clean up and fill up day in preparation for the next leg of our journey.

We found it difficult purchasing alcohol with the restrictive trading conditions in town. We could get only light beer after 12 noon and had to wait until 6pm to get heavy beer and wine. Because Liquorland closes at 7pm the queue at 6pm was ridiculously long so we gave up.

I’m sure the rules are for good reason but it sure does impact the thousands of responsible drinkers, including the thousands of tourists in town. Many things have been tried but nobody has the answer to the drinking problems.

So, goodbye Kununurra, oasis of the north, with all your security shuttered shops and peculiar alcohol purchasing laws/rules.
