Goodbye Cockburn Range and El Questro Station ...on our way to Kununurra

Pumping the tires up.....

The road into Kununurra where we stopped to pick up some food and petrol.

We arrived at Lake Argyle Resort and Caravan Park at lunch time. Great lake view from the infinity pool.

The view of Lake Argyle from the bus that was taking us to our boat for a sunset cruise.

The dam...

The dam was built with rocks from this quarry which is close by....the dam was finished earlier than expected and another positive was that it blends in with the landscape.

Sunshine on the rocky hills....really blue, calm water...

We spotted a few fresh water crocodiles on the banks of the lake.

The lake looked enormous and we were only seeing a fraction of it. The area of the land that Lake Argyle covers is larger than that of Switzerland.

As the water became calmer and the sun was lower in the sky we could really appreciate the reflections.

Our guides gave us bread to feed the fish...they are mostly catfish but are now called Silver Cobbler.  Why Silver Cobbler?...apparently it sells better with that name.

I took heaps of photos ....it was beautiful in every direction.

Spot the Wallaroo...

One of those things you don't forget...a swim in Lake Argyle. Most people used a noodle so that they could have a beer or wine. What about the crocodiles? Apparently they don't venture into deep water.

An awesome sunset

And on the opposite horizon, the moon rose.

What a wonderful experience it was.

The bus delivered us safely to the campground. Pete and I headed to the restaurant for dinner. 

 

Zebedee Springs, El Questro

Zebedee Springs were not far from the campground...the surrounding vegetation was so different to everywhere else on the Station...rain forest.

There were lots of little spots to relax in the warm water...

It was quite early in the morning , still quite cool...what a marvellous sensation sitting under the warm gushing water.

Amalia Gorge, El Questro

A rocky start on a warm afternoon...

Wasps' nests...

Getting warmer, so really nice being near water.

There were a few tricky areas....makes the walk interesting..

....ah we could cool off in the waterhole at the end of the gorge.

The waterfall was similar to the falls at Emma Gorge....but the rock behind the water was much darker....that's Pete and I next to the falls, the young fellow in the next photo took our picture.

Everyone has been so friendly and helpful...so far we have not encountered any grumpy people.

A stop for some fresh water on our way back ...

You might think that it is a boring walk back along the gorge, the same way you came in, but it isn't, everything looks quite different.

This was a particularly beautiful section of the trail.

How fortunate were we to see all those remarkable gorges in such beautiful weather....Amalia is our favourite.
