Has anybody visited Pungalina this year? I'm interested in opinions on flying in for a two or three day stay.

Best to call Owen Davies at the Station. The phone (08) 8975-8951, and/or the website at: Pungalina Safaris
The strip is well cared for (Owen often goes aviating himself). Be aware of your prop wash near the house (dust).
Fishing the Calvert River is one of life's quiet pleasures. Maybe a bit slow at this time of year, usually fires-up well during the run-off of the winding down wet season.

Thanks OpsN. Any feedback from anyone on activities other than fishing (if its off season.) E.g., the caves, bird watching (feathered), whatever.
