Broome

We finally made it to the ocean and to Broome! The pearly, aqua waters of Cable beach (photo 1) were such a sight for our dusty eyes after so much inland driving. The thrill of being able to swim in the ocean croc-free after the last 4 months was aided by the fact that the water was deliciously cool and refreshing.

We did a week’s WWOOFing on a mango farm just out of town (photo 3), which sadly wasn’t in fruiting season but we were able to meet some other travellers and have a base to explore Broome from. It was an absolute treat to catch up with our friends Skye and Cam for the few days they were in town also, we enjoyed some hilarious entertainment at an AC/DC tribute gig that we went to one night 😆⚡️

After we finished that, we then headed up to the amazing free camps above Broome on the Dampier Peninsula for a few nights. It was hot but we were rewarded with some beautiful sunsets. Then we came back to Broome to see the Staircase to the moon (photo 6), as well as some boat plane wrecks that were shot down by the Japanese in WWII (photo 7), and dinosaur footprints (photo 8)!

All in all, such a great time in a town that I hadn’t really known much about before this trip. And now can understand why people love it so much.Baca selengkapnya
