lake argyle

Lake Argyle is big, it holds 23 times the capacity of Sydney Harbour - pretty impressive for a completely man-made structure. The volume and rate of flowing water during the wet season is difficult to comprehend. The same flow rate would fill Sydney Harbour in four hours.

At the end of our cruise on the lake, I climbed onto the roof of the boat to jump in. An eight year old girl followed me up and she dared me to dive in headfirst. I agreed, as long as we jumped at the same time. It was a deep dive and I resurfaced with a mild headache. She was still standing on the roof, laughing. She then climbed down and got in via the ladder.
