Broome and Bird Observatory

On Friday we hired a 4x4 so that we could explore a bit further afield and visit the Broome Bird Observatory. It turned out to be a very hot day 40degrees at one point. The observatory was 15km off the main highway along a dirt road that was only just drying out after the wet season (which by all accounts has been quite dry). The birds viewable from the beach viewing platform were a great variety - inland not quite so numerous. On our way back we called at Cable Beach (famous for sunsets and camel rides) where there are warnings about the crocs. Also visited Gantheaume Pt lighthouse. We also visited the Japanese cemetery set up for the pearl divers who came early 20th century.
After a refreshing dip in the pool we drove to the Sun Cinema which is partly outside and was showing Ghostbusters. I didn’t get much of it but it was a unique experience. We picked up a Dominos pizza to have back at base.Meer informatie
