Kununurra
Kununurra is a town in the east of the Kimberley region of Western Australia, 45 km from the border with the Northern Territory. It was created from 1958 when an ambitious irrigation project dammed the River Ord and created a large fertile area. A second dam created the huge Lake Argyle; both barrage lakes are recreational areas. In 2021 Kununurra had a population of 4500.

Kelly's Bar and Grill
Popular place, you're unlikely to get in without a reservation. Seating is cramped indoors, most diners choose to the spacious deck outside. The menu changes with the seasons, some veggie / GF choices, look for oddities such as the barramundi and crocodile risotto. They also have a decent selection of wine and beer. Quality of cooking and service erratic.

Mirima National Park
The highlight is the "Hidden Valley" of striking sandstone formations, often described as a miniature Bungle Bungles, with walking trails of 0.5 to 4 km. The rest of the park is open bushland with unmarked trails winding around the rocks and boab trees. You can hike into it free from anywhere along the north side of Victoria Hwy, eg from the gated service road opposite Hibiscus Drive - walk up the gravel road past the water tank. You need a sense of direction to get out again, and don't venture out on ledges as the brittle rocks may break.

Coles
The main supermarket, with a good range of products, including some camping and fishing equipment. Much stock is trucked in frozen and then defrosted on the shelf, so freshness of products like bread can be sub-par, and fruit & veg will perish quickly after purchase.

Lake Kununurra Golf Club
Set on the banks of the lake 2 km west of town and striking through some fairly swampy areas, this 18-hole course makes avoiding water hazards a definite challenge. Greens are well maintained but fairways give little relief from the surrounding natural terrain. You'd be hard pressed to find a more isolated course of this standard.

Kimberley Fine Diamonds
Their signature gemstone is the pink diamond - Lake Argyle Mine was the world's main source until it closed in 2020. The colour is thought to arise from shearing stress during formation, not altered mineral content.
