We decided to take a day trip to check out a few of the towns & attractions around the region. Wyndham was on the list as a location to explore as it we won’t see on our way west to the coastline so decided to head out and tick it off the list.
Probably the most known stop in town is the Croc Cafe & Bakery. As most of you know, we are a huge fan of a good cafe or bakery lol... Unfortunately, we had already had breakfast but that didn’t stop us buying something. Instead of a pie or sausage roll, we decided to try their sweets and opted for a cream bun, and it was pretty bloody good.
After our stop in town checking out the big croc and a few shops, we made our way up to the Five River lookout. A short drive up one of the biggest hills in town we found ourselves looking out over some of the most vast landscape we have seen. It’s definitely a sight to behold!
Some fun facts about the town Wyndham:.
* It is the northernmost town in the Kimberley region of Western Australia
* It was established in 1886 to service a new goldfield at Halls Creek
* It is now a port and service centre for the east Kimberley and has a population of 780.
On the way into town there is a road that takes you out to see the Wyndham Prison Tree. In a nutshell, its basically a huge boab tree that has a hole inside and looks unreal. Unfortunately, we weren’t able to make it out there due to flooding in the area (but we did later in the dry seaon!). Not a great deal in the town, but still a great day trip out for the sights and history and of course, the bakery. ????
