Lake Argyle<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Lake Argyle is Western Australia’s largest and Australia’s second larges freshwater man-made reservoir by volume. The reservoir is part of the Ord River Irrigation Scheme and is located near the East Kimberley town of Kununurra. The lake flooded large parts of the Shire of Wyndham-East Kimberley on the Kimberley Plateau about 80 kilometres inland from the Joseph Bonaparte Gulf, close to the border with the Northern Territory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The primary inflow is the Ord River, while the Bow River and many other smaller creeks also flow into the dam. The lake is a DIWA-listed wetland as it is the largest lake in northern Australia and an excellent example of a man-made lake. Additionally, Lake Argyle, along with Lake Kununurra, are recognised as a Ramsar protected wetlands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
