small birds occasionally get trapped in the webs -Tour guide Lake Argyle of Western Australia Is Western Australia's largest freshwater man-made reservoir. Lake Argyle is part of the Ord River Irrigation Scheme and is seventy km by road from the East Kimberley town of Kununurra. One sealed road in and over the one and only bridge. The bridge is of a modern sturdy construction. On occasion in the wet season the bridge has raised concern of extreme monsoonal weather having the capacity of washing the bridge away. Spiders of Lake Argyle Golden Orb Spiders, a familiar sight on the islands dotting Lake Argyle, are known for their intricate webs that span across the gaps between bare branches of the island's small trees. These massive webs, often densely layered, can sometimes ensnare unsuspecting small birds that find themselves entangled in the sticky threads. Navigating through these intricate and tangled webs can be quite challenging, as they are predominantly crafted by the skilled Orb Spiders that call these islands home. One interesting fact about Orb Spiders is that their bites, while generally not dangerous to humans, can cause mild local pain, numbness, and swelling. Despite their potentially discomforting bite, these spiders play a crucial role in the ecosystem of Lake Argyle, helping to control insect populations and maintain the delicate balance of the island's biodiversity. The presence of these spiders adds a fascinating layer to the natural tapestry of the islands, showcasing the intricate interplay between different species in this unique environment. Freshwater crocodiles Numbers are estimated at over 25,000 in the lake. No saltwater crocodiles are said to be found. They much prefer mangrove habitat. However a one hundred per cent guarantee is not assured. The lake has twenty-six species of native fish. Fish species known in Lake Argyle include; Barramundi Southern Saratoga Archer Fish Forktail Cat Fish Mouth Almighty (is an actual fish) Long Tom Bony Bream Sleepy Cod These fish species known to inhabit Lake Argyle are a fascinating mix of freshwater creatures that have adapted to the unique ecosystem of this reservoir. The Barramundi, a prized sportfish, is a common sight in these waters, known for its impressive size and fighting spirit. The Southern Saratoga, with its vibrant colors and distinctive fins, adds a splash of beauty to the lake. Archer Fish, famous for their ability to shoot down insects with water jets, showcase an interesting hunting behavior. Among the lesser-known species, the Forktail Catfish lurks in the depths, its whiskers sensing the environment for food. The Mouth Almighty, an actual fish with a quirky name, captures attention with its peculiar features and behavior. Long Toms, with their elongated bodies and sharp teeth, are efficient predators in these waters. Bony Bream, a staple food source for many other fish, play a crucial role in the lake's food chain. Lastly, the Sleepy Cod, a nocturnal species, brings a sense of mystery to Lake Argyle with its secretive habits and elusive nature. These diverse fish species collectively contribute to the rich biodiversity of Lake Argyle, making it a prime destination for anglers, researchers, and nature enthusiasts alike.

These stunning sculptures were a beloved feature, captivating visitors with their beauty and significance. Serenity exuded a sense of calm and tranquility, while Aphrodesia represented love and passion, and Infinity embodied the eternal connection between the physical and spiritual realms. However, the devastating Cyclone Debbie in 2017 wrought havoc on the island, washing away these iconic statues along with the memories they held.
