Mud Crabbing at Mudnunn

Check out our mud crabbing adventures with Vincent, our local aboriginal guide at Cape Leveque. Sarah and Peter braved the mangroves and mud to discover the adventure of bush life up north down under. Hope you enjoy this clip as much as we did. Please let us know your reaction to this post by giving us your comments. Looking forward to them.

regards
Peter and Sarah.

Broome and her camels

Hi all,
Find below our video clips of our Broome Camel ride. It was a heap of fun. Especially too, since Sarah had joined us that morning.

Picturesque Cape Leveque




On Sunday afternoon we drove up the corrugated road to Cape Leveque 220 kms north of Broome. We were delighted to discover that only 120 kms of these were unsealed road. We are staying at Kooljaman which is at the northern tip of the cape so we can enjoy morning sunrise and sunsets over the turquoise waters of the Timor Sea and Indian Ocean. The contrasting red dirt soils and fine white sand beaches against the deep blues of sea make this a place of great dramatic contrast and beauty. We are here for the week and have caught a few little fish but are hoping for some bigger ones. The warm waters of this region make for great swimming and snorkelling. We hope to have a guided mud crabbing tour. We’ll keep you posted. Till next time, Peter, Suzanne, Sarah and Sophie.

The best of Broome







We spent a few days in Broome having our car repaired and serviced. During this time we saw the Dinosaur footprints at Gantheaume point; met the only free range chicken in the caravan park (whom we named Jemima puddle chook) who fell in love with Sophie’s tent and laid us three wonderful eggs (which we ate with bacon on our last morning); and enjoyed an afternoon Camel ride on Cable beach. Our time in Broome was a welcome relief from the routine of setting up, packing up and travelling to the next destination. Sarah arrived on Saturday and provided some much needed company for Sophie. We had a wonderful time worshipping on Sunday with the Anglican church in Broome where a number of the young people from our church at Gateway have served in past years running a holiday club. From Broome we set off for the beauty and serenity of Cape Leveque.

Pentecost River and the Cockburn Range

One of the most picturesque rivers on the Gibb River Road is the Pentecost. Check out this short video of it with the Cockburn Ranges in the background and us crossing it in the white Prado. This is the country where Baz Lurhmann shot the movie "Australia". You can see why he came here.

El Questro Gibb River Road

El Questro was certainly one of the highlights of our trip so far. The gorges were spectacular. This video clip begins with a 400 metre water crossing we did on the station across the Pentecost River. The beauty of God's good creation up north down under is breath taking. Hope you enjoy these short clips of it. Peter
