I was up this morning at 4:30am… bloody time zone changes. 🙂 It actually not too bad because the sunrise here is lot earlier than the other states. It rises at about 5:30am so I got up and took some dawn photos of the Lily Creek Lagoon from the camp site. I also decided to stay in Kununurra another day so there was plenty of time to go places.
After extended my stay with the park here. I went to Lake Argyle, the largest body of fresh water in Australia. It was BIG… You can only drive to a couple of places there. To see it really need to take the cruise but I wasn’t going to do another one. So just drove to wherever I could and took my pictures and check out the dam structure. The wall wasn’t very tall but I suppose it is the area it covers.
Came back to the camp site after Argyle, made myself a sandwich for lunch. Chatted to my ‘neighbour’ camper. He’s from Fiji and was working here in Kununurra. He told me many places to go around here so I did.
Ivanhoe Crossing, a river crossing, was closed and the stream was flowing strong. There would be no way any car could made it across. It was the biggest river flow I’ve seen so far. Also, I went to a lookout here called Kelly Knob. I know… weird name. You have a birds eye view of the Kununurra township. It looks beautiful from up there.
It was a partial lunar eclipse tonight and got myself all ready to shoot a proper time lapse. It will need to be properly processed so stay tuned. It consists of over 2500 images of the eclipse. Too bad it wasn’t a full lunar eclipse. It would have been so much more epic.
Ok… tomorrow I am off to one of my ‘most wanted’ destination, the Bungle Bungles. I can’t wait…. hopefully won’t be too long before I get to show you some photos of it.
