A little excursion

Hello all
I have been very slack lately updating this blog, so this update is very overdue.

with the heat starting to hit in the Kimberley it was time to go walkabout, I havent really had much of a break since I arrived here.

but before I left I needed a swim.......so what do you do in the Kimberley for a swim?
You hop a seaplane of course and fly out and land on the lake.

Taking off on Lake Kununurra

We took off in a Cessna Air Caravan from Lake Kununurra and flew along the Ord River and over Lake Argyle.

over the Ord River

Flying over the Dam Wall and over the Lake.

rugged scenery around Lake Argyle

After that we landed on the lake

Islands of Lake Argyle

Lake Argyle

It was spectacular flying over the lake.

you can see how low the lake is.

superb

After landing it was nibblies, drinks and a swim.

its a hard life in the Kimberley

and the pilot calls this a job?

all too soon we had to head home

sunset over the lake

All too soon it was over, but worth every minute.
Its amazing what you will do for a swim when the temperature gets on the other side of 40c.

I am currently in Townsville and heading to country Victoria for Christmas, doing a quick lap of Oz over the next few months.

After a trip or two up into the High Country, I will, after Christmas, be heading across the Nullabour, and a slow meander up the West Coast.

Depending on how good of a Wet Season they get in the Kimberley relates to the speed of return........I dont want to miss a ripper Wet Season, if it happens.

Bye for now
