Lake Argyle Sunset Cruise
Experience the true diversity of the ever-changing landscape of Australia’s largest body of fresh water on this 3 to 3.5 hour afternoon of exploration of Lake Argyle. Departing from the Lake Argyle Resort at 2.15pm, your adventure begins with a close up view of the main dam wall, intake structure and quarry blast site. From there, cruising through ‘the Heads’, leads us to the expanse of Pintpot Bay and beyond. The skipper, whilst providing informative commentary, guides the specially designed vessel amongst numerous small inlets and bays in search of local wildlife include Freshwater Crocodiles and their many nesting sites. The cruise continues out to the largest of more than 70 islands Island on the Lake. Hagan Island is over 7km long and is easily recognised by the landmark Mount Misery towering over the now submerged site of the original Argyle Downs Homestead after which Lake Argyle is named.
WA.NT Trip Pt. 7 | Lake Argyle | Losing The Boat
After a fantastic time in the Northern Territory, we cross back into the home state of Western Australia.
First up we visit one of Australia's largest dams, Lake Argyle. Really it should be called an inland sea because of its size, holding an impressive 10 000 gigalitres of water.
Lake Argyle Caravan Park is beautifully situated on the side of a hill with an outlook on the immense water expanse. Situated where the workers camp was during the construction of the dam.
Another attraction to check out when in the area is the Durack Homestead Museum.
Lake Arygle Cruises operate on the dam with several cruises available to experience the dam and swim with the estimated 35 000 fresh water crocodiles, or hire a self drive dinghy.

Kununurra & Lake Argyle: S03 Western Australia E18 Road Trip Lap
We arrived into Kununurra and took stock, before heading down to Lake Argyle. We stayed at a great free camp, hired a BBQ boat to explore, crocodile spot, fish and then swim in Lake Argyle. We also braved the waters of the Lake Argyle Resort pool to swim whilst looking out at some amazing Lake Argyle scenery.

Lake Argyle via Kununurra to Bungle Bungles????????????
After crossing the WA border???? we headed straight down to Lake Argyle for a few nights. We initially set up at the free camp near the spill way. We then drove into Lake Argyle Resort to look into cruises???? and availability. Hearing such great things about the sunset cruise, we decided to splash out and book ourselves some seats.????
We had a great two days relaxing at the spillway camp, recharging our batteries and laying about. On the third day, we packed up early and headed into the Lake Argyle Resort????. All the staff were very nice and let us check in at 9am. We made use of all the facilities, doing some washing and relaxing in the pool, all before our sunset cruise later that afternoon. ????
It was a brilliant few hours at on the Lake, learning about it and seeing different points of interest???? (see previous post for sunset cruise photos). After the cruise, we treated ourselves to dinner and drinks at the bar. Sitting back, sipping down a coldy???? while listening to the live entertainment. You can see why people love staying here.
Our next destination was into Kununurra, to top up with fresh fruit and veggies!???? Unfortunately for us we didn’t realize alot of the town is shut on Sundays, so very little was open. We chose to go up the road to camp and return the next day. Our campsite of choice was ‘Buttons Crossing’ for the night. It was a nice peaceful place, on the edge of a sandy river. Just have to be careful as the river was croccy ????
The next day we drove over the iconic Ivanhoe water crossing and got a few pictures????. Then detouring up the road to check out the Hoochery Distillery. After a few samples and a light lunch we headed back into Kununurra to grab some groceries and refill our gas. We camped at a free camp about 30km out of town, as we had planned to detour down⬇️ to the Bungles Bungles for a look.
We set up camp at the Spring Creek Rest area which is 1km south of the Bungle Bungles intersection. Day tripping it in to visit the Domes, Cathedral gorge and Echidna Chasm. The 50km dirt road from the intersection into the Information centre was horrendous????. It took us 90 minutes each way and it was in a terrible condition.
The next day we made our way up to Cockburn rest area for an overnight stop???? before starting the infamous Gibb River Road the following day.

Ord River & Lake Argyle-Triple J Tours.
The Ord River & Lake Argyle are a fantastic part of Australia in the East Kimberley WA & really the the best cruises we have ever been on.
Lake Argyle
Its sheer size alone makes Lake Argyle worth a visit, being recognised as the second largest man-made reservoir in Australia. However, don't be fooled by its 'man-made' prefix though, as these waters are much more than a vital part of an irrigation system. With more than 26 different species of fish and an estimated population of over 25,000 freshwater crocodiles, Lake Argyle has evolved into a natural sanctuary for the native wildlife. Be sure to visit the lake on your next Kimberley Adventure! We highly recommend hopping on a cruise with Lake Argyle Cruises or Lake Argyle Tours & Cruises - Kimberley Durack, as there really isn't a better way to unwind and soak in the outstanding sights. Get in touch with us if you'd like to learn more about the lake and the tours on offer.
