Today we did the Ord River sunset cruise. It’s the longest river cruise in Australia and it was “special”. Back in the late 60’s the Ord was dammed which resulted in Lake Argyle (more about that tomorrow) being formed. The Ord has over 6,000 freshwater crocodiles in it between the dam wall at Lake Argyle and the weir at Lake Kununurra which is at Kununurra itself. We saw many crocs today during the cruise.
It was a unique trip as the cruise started on Lake Kununurra where the Ord runs thru on its way to the ocean. The Ord traverses thru Carlton Gorge which in itself is beautiful particularly later in the day with the reflections. We finished the trip off with another sunset over the river.
No doubt about the sunsets in the Kimberley they are all great wherever you are viewing them from. The only cloud we have seen in over 3 weeks was back in Broome that gave us another spectacular sunset. We’ve had weeks of low 30’s and its not going to change when we get into the NT.
Here are some of the many great photos below that we took today.







Hi Susan & Ray
So lucky to be enjoying your travels now that we are back in lockdown again. It’s a little ray (no pun intended) of sunshine each morning to read your travel blogs. What a great decision it was to do your round Australia trip this year.
My step brother has just started a bicycle ride around Australia with his partner. They left Gosford 2 weeks ago and reached Mount Larcom QLD last night. So I guess you might cross paths in the NT.
Stay safe & well.
