We went into town to begin the day. We went into the visitor centre and got a parks pass for Western Australia. After we did that, we drove to Lake Argyle to see what it looked like. It was about an hour-long drive, and we went around all these massive mountains. The lake is man-made apparently and it was massive! On one part of it, you could barely see land on the other side as it went over the horizon. On the other side, there was the river which had massive amounts of water pouring out a tube into it. After we looked at the lake, we went to the Argyle Homestead. The homestead was built by Patrick Durack with local stones in the paddock and it was originally built in the middle of Lake Argyle. Before the lake was filled in, the homestead was taken down and they used the stones from it to build the same house in another location. They couldn’t get all of it, though, as the toilet and kitchen were separate buildings, and they were left there when the lake flooded. If the lake dried up, you would see the ruins of those buildings in the middle of it. The homestead was actually very big for the time and apparently the Durack family was very wealthy. There was also a bower bird that lived there. His nest was on the ground, and it was like a small archway made of twigs. He was really energetic, and I even saw him with his frill out, except I couldn’t get a photo of the frill. After we went to the homestead, we had lunch in a small picnic area next to the small river on the other side of the lake. When we finished lunch, we did a walk over the mountains surrounding the lake and got a really awesome view of the entire valley. After we did the walk, we drove back to the van and stayed there for a bit until we went back into town and got ice-cream and did a little bit of shopping. Then, we had dinner and went to bed.
