We went on an Alligator Airlines flight over the Bungle Bungles.
We headed south from Kununurra over Lake Argyle then over the Bungle Bungles and return – all in three hours.
The Ord River Irrigation Area covers 14,000 hectares with small crops and sandalwood plantations.
Lake Argyle is so big it is considered an inland sea. This fresh water is used for irrigation.
These are pictures of the Bungle Bungles heading south.
This is Piccaninny Gorge and Creek that we had walked up. Spectacular from the air.
Amazing pictures. The land that is not National Parks are enormous pastoral leases (some bigger than countries in Europe)
Kununurra Airport must be one of the busiest. There were small planes lined up to take off an land.
Argyle Diamond Mine is the largest producer of diamonds in the World. It is famous for its Pink Diamond.
And back to Kununurra. The day was very hazy but the trip more than worthwhile.
