We stopped at Timber Creek for a quick re-fuel and to grab some sandwiches for &#8220;first lunch&#8221; before hitting the road again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/garltravels.slepner.com.au\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/RoadtoTimberCreek.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1449\" srcset=\"https:\/\/garltravels.slepner.com.au\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/RoadtoTimberCreek.jpeg 640w, https:\/\/garltravels.slepner.com.au\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/RoadtoTimberCreek-330x248.jpeg 330w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption>On the way to Timber Creek<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We crossed the WA border just before 2pm which of course quickly turned into 12:30pm!  Crossing the border was pretty uneventful with the quarantine lady taking no time to barely look in our esky.  Maybe because we had been so quick to declare a partly eaten sandwich and get rid of the contents of our car bin, she must&#8217;ve thought we were honest folk!  The night before and this morning we promptly polished off two tiny jars of honey that we hadn&#8217;t yet eaten as we knew we wouldn&#8217;t be able to bring them back into WA, so we had done the right thing in case our car did get fully searched.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lake Argyle isn&#8217;t too far from the WA border so we arrived pretty early and way before check in.  We decided to sit in the beer garden way over under the shade of a tree and have &#8220;second lunch&#8221;.  Unfortunately, a lady who wanted to wash her feet turned the wrong tap which promptly powered up the sprinkler near us and we got a wee bit wet!!  &#8220;G&#8221; ran across to tell her she was turning the wrong tap and to turn the sprinkler back down and everyone had a good giggle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We checked into our cabin after lunch which is not much bigger than a caravan.  Although it is marketed as self contained and there is a tiny kitchenette, there is nowhere for you to sit and eat the food you cook except for outside or on your bed!!   We had a relaxing afternoon with the boys and &#8220;A&#8221; going for a walk to find out what was around the place whilst &#8220;G&#8221; had a rest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A very relaxing afternoon with homecooked pasta for dinner and the boys settled in for a movie in their room before an early\/late night (depending on which time zone you felt you were in)!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" data-id=\"1447\" src=\"https:\/\/garltravels.slepner.com.au\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/ArgyleMaster.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1447\" srcset=\"https:\/\/garltravels.slepner.com.au\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/ArgyleMaster.jpeg 640w, https:\/\/garltravels.slepner.com.au\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/ArgyleMaster-330x248.jpeg 330w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption>Master Bedroom (hard to get a good angle)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"480\" height=\"640\" data-id=\"1445\" src=\"https:\/\/garltravels.slepner.com.au\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/ArgyleBath_kit.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1445\" srcset=\"https:\/\/garltravels.slepner.com.au\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/ArgyleBath_kit.jpeg 480w, https:\/\/garltravels.slepner.com.au\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/ArgyleBath_kit-240x320.jpeg 240w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><figcaption>Galley Kitchen with bathroom<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"480\" height=\"640\" data-id=\"1444\" src=\"https:\/\/garltravels.slepner.com.au\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/ArgyleBath.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1444\" srcset=\"https:\/\/garltravels.slepner.com.au\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/ArgyleBath.jpeg 480w, https:\/\/garltravels.slepner.com.au\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/ArgyleBath-240x320.jpeg 240w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><figcaption>Bathroom<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"480\" height=\"640\" data-id=\"1443\" src=\"https:\/\/garltravels.slepner.com.au\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/ArgyleBoys.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1443\" srcset=\"https:\/\/garltravels.slepner.com.au\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/ArgyleBoys.jpeg 480w, https:\/\/garltravels.slepner.com.au\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/ArgyleBoys-240x320.jpeg 240w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><figcaption>Boys Room<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" data-id=\"1446\" src=\"https:\/\/garltravels.slepner.com.au\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Argyleviewtokitbathboys.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1446\" srcset=\"https:\/\/garltravels.slepner.com.au\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Argyleviewtokitbathboys.jpeg 640w, https:\/\/garltravels.slepner.com.au\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Argyleviewtokitbathboys-330x248.jpeg 330w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption>Master to Boys<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today we crossed the border back into WA!!!!!
