Lake Argyle is located 70 kilometres from Kununurra in Western Australia's Kimberley region. Created by the Ord River dam, Lake Argyle is several times larger than Sydney Harbour. Explore the lake by air to really appreciate its grandeur, or by boat for a glimpse of the diverse wildlife, which includes wallabies and hundreds of species of birds.
Lake Argyle has developed its own ecosystems and native flora and fauna abound, both in the waters and on the many islands. Boat cruises on the lake are the best way to experience the magnificent scenery and wildlife of the area.
The Giant Beef Industry in the Kimberley began when 'Patsy' Durack, with his two brothers, made an epic two-year trek from Queensland, bringing carts, wagons and 2,000 head of cattle. In 1884 they built a Homestead, using natural stone boulders for the walls, corrugated iron for the roof and flagstones for the paved verandah.

In 1971, to prevent this rare link with history being submerged by the rising waters of Lake Argyle, it was dismantled and now stands, reconstructed, at
the Dam Head. Argyle Downs Homestead is one of the best known and historic examples of early station homesteads in the north-west of Australia.
Lake Argyle offers a greater expanse of water from which steep red rocky slopes reach up a hundred to a hundred and fifty metres, in awe-inspiring grandeur.
