Zoom to Broome

Yep we've arrived in sunny Broome. The weather is a nice 30 degrees. Definitely T shirt and shorts stuff. We drove up from Pardoo station, (about 100 kms north of Port Hedland). The overnight stop at Pardoo included a quick trip out to the beach to throw a line in the water. The aim was to be there at high tide the best time to fish (so I hear) but alas, the tide was quickly running out. Every time we went back to our bait we had to walk further and further back to the water as the tide receded. In between repairing Sophie's line which continually bird nested, I had a couple of casts but decided it was time to put the gear away for another day. The trip from Port Hedland to Broome was entirely different to the one up to Hedland. Notable was the absence of mining vehicles and the dramatic increase of cars towing caravans. I've attached a photo of the long straight road that you stare at into the horizon to give you a feel for it.

On arriving at Broome we had a quick survey of the town, a trip to the fishing tackle shop, and a short dash to Cable Beach to watch (and photograph) the sunset. We look forward to the trip to Purnululu National Park (better known as Bungle Bungles). Hope to pin up some photos of that for you too. Till next time. Peter, Suz and Soph.
