Broome

Just out of Derby is a huge boab tree called the prison tree where they used to chain up the aboriginal people. Alot of questionable behavior back then.

Couple of hours to Broome and when we get there we find a car/caravan wash to get as much of the dirt off them as we can. Took about 90mins and massive improvement.

On to the caravan park and wow, very narrow road and short site makes parking very tricky, but we make it. Loads of grey nomads here, with some telling us they come for 4 months every year in the winter.

Afternoon went down to the ocean. Pacific ocean to Indian ocean completed, there and back again!!!!

Nice beach with gentle swell ideal for kids on boogie boards. The kids were very impressed tgere were bo crocodiles and they were finally allowed to swim at a beach again!

Amazingly we sat down on the beach just behind one of Edwina’s school friends (Amy and Gary) and their kids.

Next day we went to get Robbie some new novels at the charity shop. Great place for cheap books! Then afterwards went to the beach for the afternoon and went out for dinner with Edwina’s friends family.

Last day we went to get a new fishing rod after I managed to throw the last rod into the Pentecost River. The Toyota garage very kindly agreed to sqeeze us in to look at the car. Unfortunately it needs a new light unit as you ridiculously cannot just replace the bulb. They couldn’t do it in the timeframe, so said to wait till Perth.

Finally afternoon spent on the beach messing around and digging holes. The beach was amazing and we could definitely spend more time here.
