Have spent the last three days here in Kununurra. Had a nice unpowered site near the billabong and also next to a family we met a day earlier at Lake Argyle. We go together yesterday and hired a little dingy for ta few hours and went on the lake ( what was the ord river) really nice afternoon. I caught a large catfiish, so still no "barra".Have done many of the site here but will spend another 2-3 days before we head west along the gibb river rd. Weather is perfect, hod days, cooling at night. Had to top up the stores again.......Not sure how we will get it all in the trailer when we leave for the Gibb. The town here is very green, lost of large shady trees. Comfortable living as Samuel would say. There is also a resident croc (freshwater) that comes to the water edge, this was interesting. I'll make sure I pack away my rubbish bin tonight!! Have bumped into other campers we have seen at Keep River, Zebra and Lake Argyle and we think it's possibly we will see more of them if they are heading the same direction as us. Heading for the Bungles, ElQuestro, and around towards Wyndam and then back to Kununurra where we will restock again.
If it never rained here again, there is enough water stored in the lake to supply the area for 7 years. Also, 75% of the irrigation properties are planted with sandlewood

River Ord trip with family we met a few days ago
Catfish!! (catch and release)
Nice fish Woodsy. I'm sure a barra is just around the corner.
ReplyDeleteGreat Lake Argyle report from Toby. The other reports from Samuel and Lachy were also good reading. Loved the snake story. Would have liked to be a fly on the wall for that one.
Sue looks a little too relaxed in the photos. Keep enjoying the trip and send a bit of the warm weather our way.
Thinking of you all. It is great to read about your adventures. At this rate I am sure you are having way to much fun to think about home! Your weather looks simply awful :0 it does look like you are doing it tough under the outback stars! Keep the updates coming with Love from the Lecons Family x
