Lake Argyle and Cruising...

Sunday was back in Kununurra and the Baptist church had a service outside under the trees. A group of guys went out on a 4WD excursion in the afternoon and Andrew was only too happy to join in!  Zac joined him and the rest of us took it easy back at the campsite.

On Monday, I went off on a cruise down the Ord River to Lake Argyle.  Andrew graciously arranged this for me and it was incredible!  The magic of the light off the water, the speedboat, the wildlife around (saw several fresh water crocs), and a fantastic guide who grew up on the water, was a brilliant combination.  I knew very little about the damming of  the Ord to make Australia’s biggest man-made lake. What they have done here is phenomenal and the irrigation at the upper end is helping the area progress agriculturally.  There was even a stop along the way and we got off and were served lunch. I am so thankful for this wonderful treat :)

Andrew met me at the other end as we moved to Lake Argyle to stay for a night.  We went up to a 4WD lookout for sunset and had a magnificent view of the Lake. Only 5 or so 4W Drives can go yo here and one of them happened to be a HEMA Map Patrol.  If I wasn’t sitting in MacDonald’s using their wiFi, I’d load up a photo to show you!

We are now stocking up in Katherine and passing straight through to Litchfield National Park, staying for a couple of days and then heading to Darwin.  Down to the last remnants of coughs and colds so hopefully, within a week, we’ll all be healthy for the first time!
