Crossing Over

After a delightful breakfast of pancakes and maple syrup we did a tour of Lake Argyle (largest man made lake in Australia), Ord River Dam and Durrack Family Homestead.


Lake Argyle - Diamond Mine close by...but no visitors allowed.
Home of Argyle Pink Diamonds.
Also home of Primordial Rock, only found in the East Kimberley region of  Western Australia.


Wattle?  Durrack Homestead.
Durrack Homestead if had not been moved would be at the bottom of the dam today.


Crossed the Northern Territory border at noon (N.T. Time).


Gregory's Tree, Dated July 2nd 1858.  Now a tree of significance. 


Timber Creek was considered for the night but we decided to continue on to Gregory's National Park where we found a 'real' camp at Sullivan's.  We were the only ones camped there to start with, but not for long!  Full house before the moon was high in the sky.
