Sat 23 & Sun 24 June - Lake Argyle
Day 15-16
Our campsite…
And its views…
Relaxing Sunday morning, finish a bit of washing, a bit of reading…
In the afternoon we went for a cruise on Lake Argyle, a huge man made inland sea. Very interesting to see that back in 1969-71 (constructing through the dry seasons only) they built the dam for only $22m and it holds normally 20 Sydney Harbours but can accommodate 80 Sydney Harbours if required for flood mitigation.
Oh! Tracey managed to buy a new camera in Kununurra and is trialling some of its features…
with stunning results!
Some of the inhabitants, a fresh water crocodile…
Canvas waiting to happen?
This cruise was an amazing trip when understanding the creation of the Lake, over the 3hr time frame we only travelled less than the top quarter of the lake. It measures 50x40km at its widest points.
Leaving early Monday to visit the Kununurra Nissan (Toyota & Holden) to re-gas the air conditioner, we’ll worry about its leak later? Then on to El Questro for a few days.
Great to get an update. Photo’s fantastic especially the "canvas waiting to happen". Glad you all well and enjoying the trip. So cold in Brisbane the worst it’s been in 10 years (seriously).
ReplyDeleteLook forward to next post.
