G'day everybody,

Thank you very much for all the support we have been given regarding the little panic attack over a croc trap on the Ord.

Check out the response from the people that sent the video viral in the first place!

I didn't call them, this is a response resulting from all the love we got in comments and messages.

I appreciate it very much.

For the doubters (I'm sure there are a couple still out there) check this out:-

Simone is planning to be the first person EVER to SWIM the entire upper Ord River!

She is going to start at the top dam at the witching hour on a Saturday night, and will get to Swim Beach on Lake Kununurra between 4 and 5pm on Sunday 15th September.

I'm going to paddle beside her!

Hope to see you on the beach!

Adam Mackay, who runs Go Wild Adventure Tours in Kununurra, in the Kimberly region, in WA, slammed the woman for filming a video of a crocodile trap on the banks of the Ord River in WA.

What a way to begin my first Facebook post ever!
Check out this rant from someone that doesn't have a clue.
That trap actually caught a 1.8m saltie a couple of weeks BEFORE this video was made, that's how we know that the area is safe.
That's what the traps are for.
The DBCA Ranger program has 6 traps set along Lake Kununurra, not on Lake Argyle, and that's the smallest one. They check them every Monday, and the program is very effective. This is the only river in Australia that is protected from salties, which is why everyone in the know can happily swim and play on the upper Ord.
If people are that hard up for a story, how about talking about the idiot that let the saltie out of the trap in February!
That's the sort of stupidity that will affect us.

The croc was spotted on a Triple J tour on the 13th June, the Rangers put the trap in the next day, the croc was caught the day after that, and I paddled with 25 yummy juicy kids and 6 teachers down the river the next day.
I'm glad old mate didn't see that!?!

Another great Wet Season ☔️

First tour of the season this Saturday 🙌 We can’t wait to get on the water

Lake Level update time.
We have had some decent rain up in the catchment towards Halls Creek in the last week, which is now coming down into the Lake.
In The last 2 days the Lake has risen around 700mm and this morning sits at 5.32m over the spillway wall.
This gives us a volume of 16740 Gigalitres and 785 cubic metres a second discharge down the spillway!
Thats not bad for a year that was originally predicted to be below average rainfall!

The mighty Ord! And the land that time forgot. With HeliSpirit

I've canoed along this stretch of the river a couple of times over the years on multi-day trips with Go Wild Adventure Tours. With sandstone ranges towering on either side, it feels like you've gone back in time. Freshwater swims, campfires by the river, and all the time in the world to slow down and spot some wildlife. It's an experience not to be missed. To now see it all from above helps put it in perspective, and makes me want to go back for more. The East Kimberley is definitely calling. 🙂

Don't forget to grab a 2024 Kimberley calendar for next year. 😉 They will only be available through my website until I go travelling mid-September so don't miss out! https://www.discoverthekimberley.com.au/calendars

Thanks for the update Lake Argyle Cruises . What a great Waterfall season we are having. We open at Easter , there’s not many spaces left but it’s the best time to see lots of waterfalls .💦

After a nice 76mm in the last day the lake is rising again and the waterfalls topped back up!
The spillway is about 700mm over this morning, and with the Ord River still running about 5 meters coning into the Lake there will be more rising of our levels!
I will do an update when we reach 1m over for anyone interested.
