On the Road Again to....... Lake Argle

Boab Tree

After such a lovely way to end our time in Katherine, cruising on the Gorge Cruise yesterday, we packed up this morning and we were heading for Kununurra, so we were leaving the Northern Territory, oh no, we all felt a little flat that, now that part of the trip was over, and we have had almost 5 weeks of this big holiday. We stopped in town at Katherine and re stocked the pantry items and I topped up the Internet and we filled up with petrol. As we got a new car for this trip, it’s been amazing as it’s a duel tank that takes 180 litres of diesel. We are writing down our prices and mileage that we seem to get and are managing out of 180 litres, 1300km. A big bill though when we do fill up. On the road again, finally after doing all the essentials. We will be crossing into W.A, at the end of the day so we had to eat all the fruit and we had eaten all the veggies the night before. We were told by, Evan Blackford, to go to Policeman’s Point, a great area to stop and see heaps of crocodiles. We found the sign and turned off up the dirt track. A lovely spot for lunch, perfect timing, however not a crocodile in sight. So we did get to Policeman’s Point but no crocodiles. The heat was so intense; we couldn’t wait to get back to the air-conditioned car. Lunch was had and everyone was happy once again, we had a chat and we are off to Lake Argyle instead, we are going to stay there for 2 nights. I love these quick decisions, it makes it so fun.

We reached the border of N.T and W.A and we are stopped like anybody else and asked about fruit and veg, we only had the banana skin left over from lunch which they took and we had honey in a bag that we had fro lunch also. Mark opened the bag and guess what, honey is everywhere; guess who didn’t put the lid on properly. ME!!  I said “Just take the whole bag’, its only one of those Coles, zip up bags. So our honey was gone too, it would have been anyway, when we opened it at our next stop. On the border here they are really strict and were going through everyone’s caravans. We had also heard they sometimes make you get the whole camper out. I think the guy felt sorry for us, that we had honey everywhere.  We saw our first of so many Boab Trees today, hard to explain but they are a strange sort of fat tree.Arrived at Lake Argyle and this was a caravan park, mainly for the elderly with their dogs, we presumed. A grassy area quickly set up and of course a swim. This pool is so amazing, it over looks Lake Argyle, and it basically looks like your sitting in Lake Argyle itself. Check out the photos. Wow, the view, its just wonderful, however the pool is a little chilly, but it didn’t matter. We were deciding on doing another cruise, which is the sunset one on Lake Argyle, and we would do it the next evening. The cost was huge and these cruise even asking for us to pay $55 for Lily. Still thinking about it that night, we can still let them know in the morning. Wow, forgot too, the time difference, all very tired early, as they are 2 hours behind here. But this will mean awake early in the morning.
