Days 14 – 15 Lake Argyle

---

Spent two very pleasant days at the Lake Argyle Resort. Things have certainly changed , I do not remember a resort being here in 1985. It is certainly busy, are there any Victorians left in Victoria! We were unable to get on a sunset cruise as it was booked up four days ahead so spent our time having a look at the Dam and some of the lesser tourist spots, the boys tried some fishing, but still no luck.

The resort has an amazing infinity pool on the edge of the escarpment. The contrast between the red rock and blue water is amazing. Visited the home of the Duracks, which was relocated stone by stone before the Lake was formed.

Next stop Kununurra
