Damper was traditionally made in a cast-iron pot with a lid, called a "camp oven". The entire pot was either covered in hot wood coals or the camp oven was placed in a hole in the ground and surrounded with hot wood coals. It was usually served with tea made in a billy over the camp fire. Damper was originally made with plain flour, salt and water. Adding butter and self-raising flour came later on and gives a much tastier result. INGREDIENTS Two cups self-raising flour Two teaspoons baking powder Pinch salt Milk METHOD Combine flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl. Mix in enough milk to make a soft dough. Form into a round shape and place on a well-greased and floured tray. Place in the preheated camp oven and cook for about 30 minutes.

Mitchell Falls, a spectacular series of 4 falls, is the main natural attraction of the Mitchell Plateau region. It is accessed via the Mitchell Plateau Road that heads in a westerly direction off Kalumburu Road in the northern Kimberley. It takes at least two days driving or 15 hours to drive to Mitchell Plateau from the nearest town of Kununurra. Impossible during the wet season November to May, the unsealed road was made in 1954 to access the Mitchell Plateau for mining exploration that took place throughout the 1960s and 1970s. The highlight of the Mitchell Plateau is the stupendous Mitchell Falls that cascade over layers of rock into a deep pool. The return trek from the car park to the Falls can take 5 to 6 hours, so a full day should be allowed for the experience. Remnant rainforest and Livistonia palms grow tall on the rocky sides of the natural pool; the clear fresh water is an absolute oasis in the Kimberley outback. The main walk to the head of the Mitchell Falls is 5km one way, taking about 1½ hrs from the campground. The walk is not difficult, but quite long given that once you've made it there you have to turn around and come back. The camping is good
