Western Australia is the most notorious border crossing on our trip. Many people have stories about the long lines, the tricky fruit and veg rules, or the g2g pass questions. For us the border wait was short, maybe 20 minutes. We saw a couple questioned first in their car and then taken into an on-site office, that left us a little nervous. But when our turn came the officer was friendly and straightforward, a few simple questions then onto the bio-security people. They were similarly relaxed, particularly since we did not have anything of interest.
And so this scary border was behind us!
Relieved and a little surprised by the ease, we laughed as we drove into Lake Argyle.
The road winds around and around until glimpses of lake flicker into view. But the killer view is saved for the caravan park.
Tired from the day, and with tent set up, we head to the famous pool. And wow, the water of the pool runs seamlessly into the view, the far corner pointing out into the expanse of the lake and the mountainside shooting up on the other side.
