Today this water is harnessed by the spectacular Lake Argyle, Australia’s largest man made body of fresh water and the reservoir that feeds the Ord River Scheme, one of the most ambitious infrastructure projects in Australia’s history.
Discovering Lake Argyle includes film footage from the original dam construction documentaries, interviews with local experts and spectacular high definition aerial cinematography.

Following the success of their epic road trip around Australia and ‘The Big Lap’ film series made from it, the Baile family are back in their latest road trip adventure, this time on a mission to explore the vast South Australian Outback and cross the mighty Simpson Desert.
With 20 days to cover 5,500 km, they’re leaving the camper trailer behind and travelling as light as possible with everything they need on board their 80 Series Landcruiser.
Crossing the Simpson Desert is one of Australia’s iconic road trips that has to be on every serious road trippers bucket list and for the Baile’s the time has finally come.
With over 1000 sand dunes to tackle, the track across the Simpson Desert is a 400 km roller coaster that will test the limits of any vehicle but reward those who take up the challenge with a genuine and unforgettable outback experience.
But just getting to and from the Simpson Desert is half the adventure!
Join Steve, Savanna, Sara and Sienna on this non stop road trip adventure around outback South Australia through the spectacular Flinders Ranges, Oodnadatta Track, Coober Pedy, Dalhousie Springs, across the Simpson Desert to Birdsville then back through Innamincka and the Gammon Ranges.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"I really enjoyed the first series, The Big Lap, and this one is just as good but with the added fun of travelling with the girls now they are older. It is a tough trip to do and some off-road experience is needed to stay safe, but you made it look possible for anyone to do if they have a mind to. Well done on another epic trip!" - Jane Barnes
