Kununura and Lake Argyle

We spent a night in Kununura and really liked our stay there. We stayed at Kimberleyland Caravan Park and it's located right on the Ord River. It's a very picturesque town and we could've spent a few days there. We got fish n Chips that night and ate it down on the banks whilst we listened to a one  man band organised by the CP. It was nice to get full phone reception.

We bought some fruit n veges from this Western Desert produce co-op and Rubes had the camera. The pumpkin weighed 41kg.

The drive into Lake Argyle was spectacular. The BITUMEN meandered amongst King Leopold sandstone ranges covered in spinifex, Boabs and Kapok trees. We'd organised in Kununura that Mum and Dad would meet us at Lake Argyle and we didn't tell the girls. "That looks like Poppy" said Ruby as they drove into the site next to us.

Lake Argyle Caravan Park/Resort is one of the best caravan parks I've been to. There was no jumping pillow or playground but it had the best views in all directions. It also had a pretty average pool.

See what I mean- just average!!! It was incredible and freezing at the same time!

Mum n Dad looked after the girls whilst we went on a Sunset Cruise on Lake Argyle. Lake Argyle is 19 times the size of Sydney Harbour.

There is time for a sunset swim with a beer or wine. It was simply divine and for a moment we had forgotten about all our responsibilities.

There are over 25 000 freshwater crocs in Lake Argyle.

We had a look in the "original" Durack Homestead. It was interesting as I started reading Kings in Grass Castles on this holiday but found it too heavy and had to postpone my history literature for a more recent book in "Birdsville" which I found very hard to put down.

We will definitely return to Lake Argyle. A great spot.
