Big Horse Creek to Kununurra Monday 25th July

Located in Gregory National Park is a large Boab tree that stands at the campsite of explorer Augustus Gregory as he started his Northern Austrian expedition undertaken October 1855 until July 1856.
We have to relinquish very little to the quarantine bin at the border as we learnt from others who had a less fortunate experience last year.

We visited Lake Argyle which is the largest man made lake in Australia. It was formed in 1972 after damming the Ord River and is designed to hold 10 763 000 megalitres and covers 1000 m2. For navigation purposes, it is classified as an inland sea.

We have a scenic croc spotting adventure on Spillway Creek before heading for the dam wall up the top. After our site-seeing we head into Kununurra where we set up camp at Kimberlyland Caravan Park with a view overlooking Lake Kununurra.

  1. To everyone who has tried unsucessfully to post a comment I have finally looked at the settings and fixed it. Also the lack of pictures has been due to a failling computer which has been rectified. Marie and I have been going over our past posts and slowly adding photos. I would like to apologize for the late posting but we don't always have an internet conection. Thanks for following us and we do appreciate any comments.
