Day 11 - Ord River by terryliv

Day 11 - Ord River

The Ord River looking downstream from the Ord River Dam wall. We are about to board the boat you can see on the bend for a trip down the river to Kununurra.
While it is only 320kms long, I am sure I read somewhere that during the height of the wet season, it is pushing out more fresh water into the ocean than the Amazon. I cant any reference to it now so it may well be just a furphy. Good story though.
On the map at http://365project.org/terryliv/from-the-archiv/2015-01-06 this is shown as Day 10 and it should be Day 11.

Great perspective, depth of field and wonderful colours Terry, was an inspired idea to put the post the map in your album I have been flicking back to it to see where your images were taken along the way:)

@pusspup We did the tour in 2013 Wylie. For various reasons this is about the 50th time I Have been through them. Still get a buzz from them though.

Fantastic shot, that is an amazing view. And don't let facts get in the way of a story, if you say it puts out that much water I will believe you.
