53375 — Lake Argyle

WA Department of Transport Nautical Chart

Essential large-scale navigation for one of Australia’s largest and most remote inland waterways.

🚤 Navigate Lake Argyle with Local Authority Confidence

Chart 53375 — Lake Argyle is a detailed navigation chart published by the Western Australian Department of Transport to support safe recreational and local commercial boating on Lake Argyle, a vast inland reservoir in the East Kimberley.

Although far from the coast, Lake Argyle presents unique navigation challenges—immense scale, submerged terrain, shifting water levels, and limited visual reference points. This chart provides the clarity and spatial awareness required to operate confidently in a remote inland environment.

🧭 Why Skippers Rely on This Chart

• ⚓ Authoritative WA source — Published by the Department of Transport

🧠 Why Lake Argyle Needs a Dedicated Chart

Lake Argyle is enormous—larger than many coastal harbours combined—and its scale can be deceptive. This chart helps operators:

• Maintain orientation in feature-sparse open water

• Plan safe routes between launch points and camps

• Navigate confidently despite changing water levels

• Support safe boating in a remote, low-infrastructure region

This is not a decorative map—it’s a practical navigation tool.
