Lake Argyle and Ord River

From Kununurra, our original plan had been to drive to the Bungle Bungles and take a 4wd day tour from there. However the campground and tour operator had been unable to open this season because of land rights issues. So we had to shuffle our itinerary, which meant a flight and 4wd tour of the Bungle Bungles from Kununurra - and three more days to fill!

One of those days we opted to do a bus/boat tour out to Lake Argyle and back.
