August 10, 2019 – Chris & Merelyn's Travels

We are staying at Lake Argyle Resort till this saturday. It’s lovely to get up early and go for a walk around before the other 500 plus campers get on the move. You can do as much or little as you like each day.

We are camped in the first row, right near the check in point. Each day we watch the stream of travelers, lined up to get a site, it’s quite entertaining. Sometimes after lunch there can be 2 lines going back out to the road. The attendants do a great job getting them sorted and on site quickly… We’ve done some more driving around and 4 wheel, hill climbing a drive into Kununurra to do shopping, and morning tea out at the Hoochery Rum Distillery.since staying here.

On thursday we went on a Sunset Cruise, we were transferred by coach down to the boat ramp, and headed out by 2.30pm.

There are over 90 islands in the lake , and the lake itself is one of the biggest in the Southern Hemisphere. Depending on the time of day the colors of the landscape change. So glad we chose the Sunset cruise, it was the most spectacular sunset I have ever experienced.

We stopped to see the fresh water crocks sunning themselves, fed fish and wallaroos. Our tour guide/captain,was great fun and very informative.

The hew in the evening all around was beautiful, just before the sun set.

Then it was time to tie the boat to a boy, and jump overboard into about 30 meters of water, and have drinks and nibbles as the sun went down. It was just magic.!!

Chris attempted to take some selfie photos, but its not easy to do in freshwater. They gave us noodles to help keep us buoyant ! We stayed in the water for about half an hour,and when we got back onboard afternoon tea served. What a fun time, we all had, of course I think the wine helped to add to some of the fun and laughter
