Lake Argyle and into Northern Territory

We stopped a few days in Kununurra to recharge our batteries and stock up on supplies. Nothing too much to report, beyond it being a nice rest stop. We enjoyed the grass and bought our first take away meal in months - Chinese (options were limited).

It was then a small drive on to Lake Argyle, which is the massive dam fed by the Ord River, only about 70km from Kununurra. It is apparently Australia's second largest reservoir, and does look to be an awesome size. There is a tiny village on its edge, with a nice caravan park that has amazing views across the water. The contrast of the red rock with so much water is really amazing, but a real highlight is the legendary "infinity" pool which sits on the cliff's edge. The kids were fortunate to quickly make friends with a nice family from Melbourne and had a great time catching cane toads and fishing (while being watched closely by a big freshwater crocodile).
