We begin today with a hike into the Victoria River escarpments to see some of Jubarra National Park’s unique rock paintings and breathtaking scenery. We then cross the border into Western Australia and arrive at Lake Argyle, the largest man-made lake in Australia. Here, we’ll embark on a one-of-a-kind lake exploration and spend the night on one of the lake’s secluded islands.

Our Lake Argyle Island adventure will begin when we board the boat with our camping equipment and set sail on the lake. Explore the islands and bays in search of wildlife such as the short-eared rock wallaby, wallaroos, freshwater crocodiles, and a variety of fish and bird species. We’ll also have the chance to jump into the cool waters and go for a refreshing swim before heading to the island to set up camp.

We’ll take advantage of the welcome quietness and sunset with a campfire meal before retiring for the night, ready to be awoken by the sound of water, wildlife, and an unforgettable sunrise. When we’re finished, we’ll pack up and return to the mainland for breakfast.

Highlights include rock paintings, the Gregory tree, and the Lake Argyle island experience.
