Lake Argyle

Lake Argyle was created by damming the Ord river and is the largest man-made lake in Australia. The water is used to irrigate the agricultural land around Kununurra.

The landscape in this area is stunning. The camp site is set on a cliff overlooking an inlet of the lake and was developed from the camp used to house the workers when the dam was being built. We went on a very interesting cruise around the lake. The skipper told us a lot about the dam and knew where to find wildlife for us look at. We even went for a dip in the lake.
