Perth to Lake Argyle

We woke up at 7am this morning and lazed around having coffee and breakfast, and said goodbye to Edita who was leaving at 7:30am for work. Amelie headed off to school at 8:30am so I said good bye, and Scott went with Dale on the school run. I showered and packed up my clothes, and relaxed and had a coffee. Byron had stayed the night at his Dads place so he came around with David at 10am to take us to the airport. We said our goodbyes and headed off to the airport.

We arrived and check in our luggage and we only had to wait about 30 minutes before boarding. We walked around the airport and bought some chocolates for Tash as it’s her birthday while we are staying at the Bungle Bungles accommodation. The flight was 3 hours long and Scott and I had downloaded a few episodes of Untamed on Netflix so we watched that. As we got close to Kununurra I looked out the window and we could see Lake Argyle. From the plane it looked amazing but certainly not as big as it has been described as “21 times bigger than Sydney Harbour”. As we came into Kununurra we could see Boab trees everywhere and the red rocky landscape. The plane landed with a massive thud and slammed on the brakes as it was a short runway.

After leaving the plane we queued up to grab our rental car and I grabbed our bags. Lindy the owner of Thrifty in Kununurra had organised esky’s for our vehicle and even gave us some camp chairs which was really nice. We headed into town and grabbed some food at Cole’s and some drinks at the bottle shop where we learnt there were alcohol restrictions. Although upon googling the restrictions we actually could have bought quite a lot between the two of us!

We then hit the road where we had a one hour trip to Lake Argyle. On the way we saw the sun setting over the mountains as it sets around 5:15pm. We spotted a cow and a wild horse on the side of the road. We arrived at Lake Argyle caravan park at 6pm and checked into our cabin. We had a few snacks before Scott cooked steak for dinner and made a salad.

We relaxed outside before the midgies annoyed us and we headed inside. I was quite exhausted so relaxed in the room listening to the music. Scott filled up our water bottles at reception as we were advised not to have the water from the tap. We relaxed watching Untamed on Netflix before heading to sleep.もっと詳しく
