PHOTO DESCRIPTION

We leave Kununurra crossing Argyle Lake by boat, to reach the start of our walk. We then start walking up the course of a river to a waterhole where we can camp and swim.

We will walk through the spinifex country, heading towards a swimming hole on the top of a dramatic gorge.

We will keep going on our adventure to a little pass joining a gorge that we will follow all the way through the Carr Boyd South area.

The river landscape is delightful to walk, the vivid colours of this landscape are breathtaking to most who visit this area for the first time.

And there is great water holes for those who like to swim.

Whilst on this adventure we will have to swim with our backpacks. It is not a difficult exercise if you have the right equipment. I have found that using a plastic bag is not adequate to ensure your gear is dry, for this the reason, I will supplying you with a waterproof bag to keep your gear dry. If you wish, you can keep this waterproof bag at the end of the tour (see below Green bag on the picture).

Along our way, we will explore a very small gorge looking like a Karijini gorge but with warm water.

Our first week will end in a flooded chasm. We will need to swim about 300 meters (with the possibility of stopping for a photo halfway). On paper, swimming that far seems a little difficult but in reality, it is quite simple especially since the floating backpack performs similar to a big buoy.
