Diary: Friday 7 July

Friday 07 July 2000

Drove out to see Lake Argyll which provides the water for the irrigation scheme in Kununurra. More recently, a hydro electric power scheme has been initiated to supply electricity to Kununurra and the Argyll Diamond mine. The lake is vast – I think that it was formed by flooding a 1 million acre cattle station. We missed the times for the boat tours, so we stuck to the road and scenic lookouts.

Back in Kununurra we attempted to find a flight that would be able to take us to the UK for Granny and Grandpas 60^th Wedding Anniversary celebrations in September – this proved rather tricky because of the Sydney Olympic games. In the end, we left it with the travel agent to see what she could do.
