DAY NINE We leave El Questro and stop at Wyndham to view the 5 rivers lookout and the Cambridge Gulf. You get a panoramic view from the lookout. We continued to Kununurra via the Argyle Homestead Museum
. The homestead was the home of the well known pastoralist the Duracks and is full of household implements of the time. There was a resident bower bird who had a huge nest built in the grounds and kept a watchful eye over it from above.
After lunch we arrived at Lake Argyle and boarded a boat for a 3 hour cruise down the Ord River stopping along the way for afternoon tea. The river is like glass. The boat driver told us all about the development of the Ord River Scheme and the way it changed the country surrounding it. It was amazing to see so much water. We saw crocodiles sunning themselves on the banks. At the end of the cruise the sun was beginning to set making for more spectacular scenery. We stayed that night at the Kununurra Country Club Resort. A very full day....again
