Lake Argyle Bridge free camp

This is a nice place to camp for a few days while we wait till KAI can fit us into their schedule for a service of the truck, and hopefully fix the issue with the fuel gauge. We will get in touch with them again on Tuesday or Wednesday and see if they can see us. There is no reception here, so will have to travel back to Kununurra before we can make any phone calls.

The Great White Hunter has been trying his hand at fishing in our front yard water feature (the Lake Argyle Spillway Ha Ha). He caught a Sooty Grunter which according to the fish ID app we have, is only two stars eatability out of five stars. Well we cooked it wrapped in alfoil on the fire and ate it with salad. It tasted fine, not quite as nice as the other fish we have been eating, but still good. The second one he caught I made into fish cakes by combing the cooked fish with onions, herbs and mashed potatoes.

It is questionable wether there are Salties in this part of the river. There is definitely fresh water crocs because we have seen both dead and alive ones while going for walks along the river banks.

There is a lot of little moths here. If you walk into the surrounding bush and grasses, thousands of them fly up around you. We woke on the first morning to a graveyard of them in our shower tray! They must have been attracted to the permanent blue light that is in the top of the shower stall.

Because there is unlimited fresh water here, the truck got its ft wash since leaving Perth. It finally looks sort of clean after being covered in mud and red dust for months.Read more
