Bungle Bungle Flight

Awoke early to get ready for a 6.30am flight over Lake Argyle, The Bungle Bungles, Argyle Diamond Mine & a few other places. The tour company, Alligator Airways, picked me up at 5.30am. There were a few other flights this morning. The pilots called names for each flight, gave us a briefing on what was to happen, then we were off. Lake Argyle is massive, it’s classed as an inland sea for navigation purposes. We flew over two huge cattle properties as well as the old Ord River mine. The Bungles were an amazing sight, seeing them on TV does no justice to the beauty of actually seeing them. They really are amazing. The flight then took us over the Argyle Diamond Mine, the only place in the world that produces pink diamonds, hen Back to the airport. The flight itself was great, there was a bit of turbulence, but nothing too bad. The tour company then dropped me back at the bus.
