Lake Argyle 20th - 23rd August

On leaving the main highway after Kununurra we proceeded along a narrow road to Lake Argyle .The next 30km were spectacular. The road wound its way through gullies with soaring red cliffs. It was like driving through a stacked wedding cake of green topped red cliffs.
We had been told Lake Argyle Caravan Park has a five star location and a five star swimming pool. On arrival we were not disappointed. The swimming pool sits on the edge of the escarpment which drops straight down to the lake below. An infinity edge allows you to laze against the pool edge and absorb the stunning view, especially at sunset. The pool also provided Archie with a large shallow section in which he could stand and gain confidence. He spent much of his time in the pool dancing in circles in the shallow end singing loudly “ I like it, I like it, I like it”.
We spent three nights and days here enjoying the pool and the scenery. Archie made a friend, a young boy Tyler, who was a few months older. They spent many hours playing with matchbox cars on the rocks and in the dirt.

Hi Mr.A! I am typing this on behalf of our class, we all miss you heaps! I'm not saying that we don't like Mrs. Greenland, she's great and although we are a so-called 'handful' for her she is doing a great job. Anyway wish you were here. - Bonnie
PS: We are very much missing Archie's book of the week, we can't believe you held a dead magpie goose and we were very disappointed (as you can imagine) when Boyd shaved facial hair and we could no longer laugh at it!
