Limestone Gorge - Lake Argyle

Well the 24th June will go down as the worst day so far. We left limestone gorge (back over the Hold-onto-ya-boobs track) and then back into Timber ck where we had lunch and Donsy bought the ingredients to make pizza for tea. Fuelled up then filled out water tanks and on the road again.

Crossed the bridge out of town and we were following Karl and Yoges put the door down. Karl calls on two way and says 'oncoming' as the blue and red lights flashed. $350 fine later and back on the road. Karl had pulled over while we chatted to the nice policeman and called Jake.

Back on the road and Karl was behind us. Nearly at the border and Karl calls on two way to say 'I think you've got smoke coming out of your camper mate' FAR OUT!!! Pull over. Tyre is on a lean smell of burning rubber is rank. They jacked the camper up thinking a bearing had gone only to discover a bolt in the suspension had broke off and bent another bolt. LUCKILY Yoges had a piece of windmill rod that fitted just nicely to get us to Lake Argyle.

We get to the border to discover a check point (like in the movies when you cross the Mexican border, only drugs is not the contraband- fruit and veges are!

Out goes ALL of our fruit n veges to be buried and any honey is burnt! Donsy not happy as our pizza ingredients are now gone!!!!

Arrived at Lake Argyle after an absolutely spectacular drive through Rocky Mountains. Arrived at argyle 4pm WA time. Set up and decided in the fish n chips n beer for $20.

The sunset is indescribably beautiful.

Tomorrow we head into Kunnanurra to stock up on food and bolts!!!
