About Kununurra
Kununurra is a town located on the eastern side of the Kimberley Region in north Western Australia. Many of the inhabitants are indigenous Australians. Kununurra comes from the Aboriginal word Gunanurang which means "Big River". This describes the meeting of two rivers, the Ord and Dunham.
Nearby Lake Argyle is the country's largest man-made lake. It has become a tourist attraction with the lake being over 100 square kilometres (39 sq mi) in size. That is 9 times the volume of water contained in Sydney Harbour. The lake is recognised as an important wetland area today and is home to many species of fish as well as the freshwater crocodile.
Kununurra is a huge 3,040 kilometres (1,889 mi) distance from Perth, (the states capital), but a mere 17km from the Northern Territory border.
