As you may know,
my parents are staying with us at the moment. We are up to the 3 week mark now and today we did the touristy thing and went for a cruise on
Lake Argyle. Its a 60km drive out of town,
we flew over it when we arrived, but that still didn't prepare us for how big, massive, enormous,
humongous this expanse of water is.
It looks like this in all directions. Water, red cliffs and more water.
We did the Sunset Cruise with
this company. It was good, I'd take the next tourists who visit us along for another cruise. It was sort of funny, we were the only locals except for the boat driver/commentator.
Happy Mothers Day Mum! No, don't take my photo again!
Matilda enjoying the breeze. We were so excited to get on the boat I didn't get a photo of it! No windows, just a rail at the side to hang on to when the driver went fast.
Grace on the close look out for any crocodiles.
See the little V shape in the water coming towards you? Look closer...
Well hello Mr Crocodile!
Snap, snap! He was about a metre away from the side of the boat in this shot. He is a
freshwater crocodile which are consider to be timid and generally not dangerous to humans. Still.....
Well that's close enough for me I'd say!
We cruised around some more and then stopped for a swim while waiting for the sun to set.
And here is Daz gazing out on another Kimberley Sunset as we cruised towards were the boat was docked. Most likely thinking of all the work we has to do this week with his students!

Wow! I've seen Lake Argyle on the map, and it looked big! What a great way to spend a day!
How fun! Beautiful shots of the lake. I don't know if I could get in after that croc showed its face! Glad you had so much fun (and lived to tell about it). :)
Ok, um, obviously its a really massive lake, with lots of room for everyone, but the photos of small children and seniors swimming just the below the pix of crocodile just seems wrong. I immediately had the theme of Jaws on my mind! Dunh,uh...dunh,uh. Very brave children!
Hi! Just de-lurking to echo the thought! I can hardly get in a lake with the thought of fish that might nibble my toes! Do they sell Croc-repelllant, there?
Oh my, the pics scared me too. Seeing the croc then seeing your family in the water, my mind was screaming no-get back in the boat.
Wow! I don't think I'd get in the water after seeing that thing, I don't care HOW big the lake is! You have some very brave girls!
Me too! I'll be terrified of any crocodiles regardless of their size in any lake, regardless of the lake's size!
