Day 42 Broome

Today we returned to the centre of Broome to explore some more.
The first thing we did was drive to a lookout over the beach. Dad also got a free coffee while we were there.
The next thing we did was return back to where we looked around yesterday, and because there was the Chinatown Discovery Festival on over the weekend there was a lot more things open.
The festival is a 3 day event that acknowledges Broomes' unique history and cultures, particularly in the pearling industry. There were lots of "Pearlers' Games" to participate in. We tried sand sculpting and we learnt how to harvest a pearl.
After we finished looking around town we returned back to the caravan park for another swim in the pool.
At 2:00pm we returned to Chinatown where the festival games had begun. We watched a series of different games, and we all got to control a giant puppet. Jessica and Ryley also participated in a game called Flipper racing. We all expected Jess to win but it turns out that Ryley is a frog, and used his frog flipper powers to win the race.
The next thing we did was have dinner, we returned back to the restaurant where we ate yesterday because most of the other restaurants were shut because of the festival.
After dinner we went back to the truck to grab our pillows and snacks, for a movie. We watched Aladdin in an outdoor cinema, but not just any outdoor cinema, it was the oldest operating outdoor cinema in Australia. The movie was great and after it had finished we went shopping for some last minute supplies, then we returned back to our caravan park.
Tomorrow we will be taking a tour out to the snubfin dolphins.Read more
