At 10 am the rented car had to be returned, and so it was. A discussion with the rental company about some chips in the windscreen ended without agreement and without additional payment.

A taxi brought us to the Australian Aviation Heritage Centre (museum), where particularly a B52 bomber was attending attention. Lunch at a gas filling station, taxi to the airport, refueling - and making a flight plan all took its time so it was pretty late in the afternoon before we left Darwin.

The military maneuvre was still going strong with plenty of planes landing and starting, so we had to wait some time before getting the clearance for take off.

We flew southwards direction Litchfield National Park. Looked at the waterfalls, the termite mounds we had seen and the roads we had been driving on the former days. Then westwards, towards the coastline. Mangroves, beautiful rocky formations, valleys, forests, wild land all over.

Touch down in Kununurra was at 4.45pm (western time). Before getting a taxi to drive us to the backpackers, we had a bit of a talk to Jim, a local pilot that had some good suggestions on what to see and what not. For a change we (well, Linda did most of it) prepared our own dinner again - Mexican burritos - yum yum.
