W.A OMG we made it!! 19th July

 

WA We made it!!!!!

Up early and off to the border. With our G2G passes we arrive at the border. OMG we are through!!! I feel very emotional. This trip is 20 years in the making for Adam and I. 20 long years of work and building a house and few other bumps along the way and to make it to the end game of WA with Covid nipping at our heels is met with excitement and relief. I can stop holding my breath now.

The rumours were true about Lake Argyle. It was bussssyyyyy there were at least 30 vans parked on the street waiting from the night before and we were given a ticket number 60!!! So a long wait for a spot. They have a great pool there so we took it in turns of going for a swim and Adam and Nash went for a bike ride to the lookout. We arrived at 6.45am and got a site and 1.45pm. After a re shuffle (Brooke not happy with site) we set up with a beautiful view over the area. We did a boat trip on the lake with a swim. Swam in the famous infinitely pool and sat on the grass and listened to a local muso play some original songs one is quite a rude song but very funny about a bloke named Derrick you can look it up yourselves. The park is the only place to stay at Lake Argyle. You can camp on the side of the road but its not legal and could get moved on. The price is around $120 for 2 nights but it is a one stop shop that caters for most people. It was a bit hectic for my liking but views were out of sight, we had resident red tail cockatoo and lake was massive (14 Sydney harbours)with lots of wildlife. 

One tip I would offer is try and hire a BBQ barge for about $200.00 for half a day. It is cheaper and longer than the tours.
