Return to Kununurra
From 2009/05/01 To 2009/05/01

In 2006 a handful of dare devil Sydney swimmers chose Lake Argyle to test their talents and raise money for the Royal Flying Doctors Service. The success of this fundraising adventure prompted a unanimous decision from the Ord Valley Muster Committee running under the Kununurra Chamber of Commerce and Industry to add the Lake Argyle Classic to the 2007 Argyle Diamonds Ord Valley Muster event calendar. It is back on in 2009!

Situated 75 kilometres from the town of Kununurra, Western Australia, Lake Argyle is located 40 kilometres from the Northern Territory border and covers 880 square kilometres at normal water levels. 21 times greater in size than Sydney Harbour, Lake Argyle can increase to 23 times the size during the heavy wet season.

Long since recognised as one of the most spectacular places to visit in Australia, the Lake Argyle Classic provides experienced swimmers with an unsurpassed outback adventure.
