20 Sydney Harbours

Lake Argyll gave us another highlight from Australia. Britain might have mind blowing history, but Australia doesn't half do nature! I keep finding myself saying "that's the most amazing XXXX I've ever seen" and I'm not talking Castlemaine!

Lake Argyll holds 20 times the amount of water in Sydney harbour. It is the second largest lake in the Southern Hemisphere. Basically it's bloody massive! We went on a tour of the lake and we saw so much wildlife: baby crocs, rock wallabies, kangaroos, pelicans, archer fish, catfish and bush turkeys. For me, the most fascinating were the cattle that had lived on one of the islands in the lake since they were cut off from mankind in 1971. No GM influence and they still had four legs and two heads!




We stayed in a caravan site with the nicest pool we've ever seen. It was an infinite one with the water merging into the distant lake water:


The overnight involved a lot of lightening and thunderstorms which we watched from the infinite pool. Lightening and big open space of water - hmmmmm!!
