Argyle Dam Ord River

The Argyle Dam is situated 70k's from Kununurra and holds 40 times the capacity as Sydney Harbour. The original land owners were the Durak's and their homestead was moved stone by stone to higher ground prior to the valley being flooded. The spillway pours water at a rapid pace and the noise is quite deafening.
The caravan park at the dam has an amazing pool which looks out over the dam, made us wish we had booked in here and not in Kununurra, mind you it was hard enought to get to the bottle shop from in town let alone out here. You were only permitted to buy 2 bottles of wine per person and not till after 5pm, you should have seen the queue!! and it was only white people!
