While the boys were on their river trip, I visited the relocated Durack Homestead. This is the original house built in the valley that the dam now fills. The house was dismantled, stone by stone, and rebuilt above the dam. They have a great display of the pioneering days of this famous family.

It’s just near the camping ground here, which sits near the dam wall with a spectacular view across Lake Argyle. Is this Horizon Pool to die for, or what?

I sent this photo to our architect and asked if our pool would look like this when it’s finally built. He said it would – when the landscaping is finished.
