Day 64 Sunday 26th August. Katherine - Lake Argyle

Packed up early before heat of the sun came. By 8.15 we had finished and were cooling off in the pool one last time. After exchanging details with our neighbors who will be in Victoria later in the year, we left at 9 am for Lake Argyle. Topped up fuel in Katherine, first stop was in Victoria River Roadhouse for a icy pole, where the staff there enquired which way we were heading? When we said West they told us a truck had broken down 10 km out of the roadhouse, and could we drop off his lunch? We happily obliged so off we went on our rescue mission! We found the truck and it's 2 occupants who were staying cool in the cool room on board the truck!!

We crossed over the NT/WA border ( and quarantine ) then arrived in Kunanurra at 3 pm (we gained 1 1/2 hours when we crossed the border. Stocked up on F&V, as this was thrown out at quarantine, then arrived at Lake Aryle Resort           http://www.lakeargyle.com.au/index.php?page=guest-facilities at 4.30 pm for another swim as temp was 37 deg.

Assisting the broken down truck!!

The drive into Lake Argyle is amazing.
