Lake Argyle continued

 The East Kimberley scenery is just beautiful and we are enjoying every moment we spend here.


Andrew went for an early morning walk up to the Bluff Lookout.  This is the cairn at the top.


He managed to catch this pretty parrot among the cottonwood.

Later on in the morning all three of us including little Maxi, on her short little Jack Russell legs, did the walk just opposite the caravan park to the other lookout point which takes in the wonderful views of the Ord River gorge and the dam wall.







Maxi was pretty tired when we got to the top, as was I, and she took what shade she could under the legs of a fellow walker.


Last night around the campfire with one of the best views as the background.  The Lake Argyle Tourist Resort has been without a doubt one of the classiest caravan parks we have stayed at.  It apparently stays open all year around.  Some intrepid travellers come because they want to see the wet season with all the waterfalls working and waterholes filled.  One of the guys working there told me that there are about ten RVs stay there per day in the off season.


The Durack Homestead which is now a museum.







Two last shots of one arm of the reservoir below the campground. The Bluff where Andrew walked the day before is on the top left hand corner.


This virtual inland sea is a heavenly spot nestled in the Carr Boyd Ranges and a 45 minute drive from Kununurra.
