Day 37 Lake Argyle

After a late night we decided to take a 700m short hike down Jessie’s trail to the swimming pontoon to see if there are any Freshwater Crocs. Little did I know it would turn into a Stairmaster extreme workout. I seem to be getting good at selecting mountain goat tracks. Torture complete we went for a spin into Kununurra. There was Saturday morning markets on and we had a wander around. Nothing really worth purchasing. Drove out to Ivanhoe Crossing (Kununurra’s natural under body car wash complete with crocodile concierges ). We crossed over and headed out to Black Rock Falls. No ester coming over the falls but a nice place. There were butterflies everywhere, probably more than I have seen in one place. I had not lowered my tyre pressure from towing the van so the drive out to black rock falls was pretty jarring (36psi on front and 45 on back ). I decided to try out my new campsmart tyre deflaters. There are four of them and you disk up the pressure you would like your tyres at. I selected 20psi on each and proceeded to deflate the tyres. The incar tyre pressure monitoring system (Tpms) showed 31 psi on 3 tyres and 35 psi on the last. I need to play around with these more. It was however a smoother ride back. Crossed the Ivanhoe Crossing again and got flagged down at the other side, my number plate was dangling. Another job to do. Made a temp fix, we fuelled up and headed back to Argyle. Having a quiet night tonight, went over and grabbed a take away fish and chips from the bar they had a bloke up on stage singing classics like “True Blue” “blowing in the wind” and a bunch of others. Dinner snd jobs finished, listening to songs from Neil Diamonds Hot August Nights. Great finish to the dayRead more
