Day 50 – Lake Argyle Resort – Durack Homestead visit, and 4WD sunset hill visit

We went for a self-guided tour of the dam wall, and then drove the short distance out to the Argyle Homestead Museum, which told the story of the Durack family.  The original homestead was located where the bottom of the lake is now, but it was relocated for posterity.  An amazing story.  There is a resident bowerbird in the front garden of the museum.  His name is Patsy.

In the afternoon we swam in the infinity pool, then near sunset, we packed our chairs and happy hour drinks and snacks into the car, and drove to a 4WD sunset lookout near the homestead.  It overlooked the lake, and was very nice and peaceful.  2 other cars were there.  One had 2 dogs, one of which looked like a kelpie, and brought us sticks to throw for him to retrieve.  It was lovely dog therapy.
