You want to hear from a true blue authentic Kimberley guide? Well, this is the yarn for you. Ronnie Morgan from ‘Just Over The Hills’ is one cool, calm and composed fella.

If you have time it’s by foot. There’s absolutely no doubt about that. This week Scotty yarns with intrepid hiker and explorer Melissah Adams. She’s seen more back country than most and is a passionate adventurer who loves nothing more than spending a few weeks at a time walking, climbing, swimming and at times crawling through narrow gorges, up giant ranges and across vast valleys to see what’s on the other side and to feel what it was like pre European contact.
