KOKODA LIVES Kokoda Caravans is back in business under a new owner. “Kokoda is a strong brand with amazing customers, and I love that this community is know as ‘Kokodians’,” new owner Antoine Le Pajolec said. “With the customers that we have, and with our design and experience, we are going to see a whole new world of adventures open up for our Kokodians.” Kokoda, along with stablemates Dreamseeker and Grand Salute (also sold under the former parent company Aussie Adventure Caravans) went into voluntary administration in February this year. Details concerning what the future will bring for the well-known brand aren’t yet known; however, in a Facebook Live video, Mr Le Pajolec spoke of his enthusiasm for the brand and his engineering background. SECRETS OF THE KIMBERLEY The Kimberley is one of Australia’s last untamed wilderness areas. It’s nearly twice the size of Victoria yet is home to six million fewer people. To make the most of it, you’ll need the ultimate guide. 100 Things to See in the Kimberley is the culmination of a life spent exploring the Kimberley. Written by Scotty Connell, Kununurra local and award-winning tour guide, the beautifully- presented book takes readers to some of his favourite places across the north-west of Australia. As Nick ‘Honey Badger’ Cummins says in his foreword: “Scotty Connell is to the Kimberley what Vegemite is to hot toast”. Filled with stunning images and with an easy-to- follow format, it’s a must for anyone intent on heading to the Kimberley.
