Diamond Adventure in Australia's Outback with Fran West

Hands up those who knew that there were diamonds in Australia's Outback!
Not many, I bet.

On my flyabout around Australia's coast, I detoured inland to Kununurra.

I had a day off and went on a joyflight to the Bungles and the Argyle Diamond Mine in northern Western Australia.

The pilot, Kylie, was also the bus driver and tour guide in the mine area.

Security is very strict, naturally, and if you do your own flight into the airstrip you have to fill out all the security paperwork before leaving Kununurra.


It's well worth the trip though, with lunch at the cafeteria, the tour around the mine area and a visit to the diamond viewing room and natural history museum.
