A flying visit to Wyndham, Kununurra and Lake Argyle

We decided to head to Wyndam for a quick look at the historic port town.  The best place to get a perspective of the Cambridge Gulf is the Five Rivers Lookout.  

The Five Rivers (Pentecost, King, Ord, Forrest and Chamberlain) can all be seen from the lookout, but we decided the author of the Wyndam Visitors Guide deserved special mention for their description of the view:


"You will marvel at the intricate patterns of the brilliant green mangroves that line the serpentine meandering of the crocodile infested tidal rivers and creeks."

We returned to the town and checked out some bronze figures of an Aboriginal family and other Australian animals.  They were impressive, but sadly hard to find as they weren't signposted, and when we did find them, they were not in the best state of repair
