A diversion into Lake Argyle was rewarding.
Pandanus by the access road.
Lake Argyle - a vast quantity of water (over 1,000 sq.km.), covering much sacred Aboriginal land and much underused - some faltering irrigation and about 1% electricity of the Snowy Mountain Scheme, but the second largest man-made lake in Australia.
The dam.
The hydro-electric turbines outlet.
The park below the dam.
Much of the trip was through more of those wonderful red rock hills interspersed with stretches of bushland plains.
Yet another lone cyclist and some road-side burning off, but too many caravans and mobile homes to count (Who isn't travelling around Australia at present?).
An accidental turnoff for refueling at Timber Creek led to "Hickeys Beach Picnic Area" - a delightful interlude in the journey. The right turnoff a few hundred metres on got us fuel.
