Thanks Ray.

Hi rayj4
We did the 2hrs plane ride out of
Kununurra awesome flight
Lake Argyle Bungles and
kimberley mine on the 28 June we booked by phone from
Timber Creek and paid be card would suggest all would be the same .Prices vary on the length of flights ours was on special at $315pp the chopper from the caravan park at the enterance to the Bungle Bungles was reasonable but short . If your coming through
Katherine call at the tourist office thats we,re we got all the pamplets.

Hi Ray we did the helicopter flight a couple of months ago, Slingair do it from inside the park which is about 50klm from the highway & it was about $320 for a 18min flight. They also have a helicopter at
the entrance to the park, where there is also a caravan park because wouldn't recommend taking a caravan in unless it was a full off road. It is
well worth the money though and the only way to really appreciate it all.

Hi Rick.
Good to see that they credit cards, would be a bit red faced if i turned up with only a credit card and they took cash only.
Thanks Ray.

We also did the flight out of
Kununurra, my view it was better value
then forking out for a short helicopter flight.

Ditto
Took the 13 seater 0615 flight.
Early morning = less turbulence and better visibility.
13 seater more comfortable, no headphones needed as has PA
0615 and back by 0800 means have the rest of the day to do other things
Also saw
Lake Argyle on the way down and the Argyle diamond
mine on the way back.
Then visited Purnululu NP on the ground later in the week.
Cheers
Andrew
