Day 87 - 80 Mile to Broome

Another sunny start to the day, sad to be leaving here as it is such a chilled spot to spend time - even when we didn't catch fish. On the road early (9am).

Would have like to check out Barn Hill Station, but it was booked out. I had a few ppl telling us how nice it is.

Had a horrible reminder along the road of the dangers of towing. Car and Caravan roll over, an old couple and their dog blocking half the road. Luckily, they were all ok, thank goodness. Fortunately, they didn't need medical assistance, as it is 4 hours from Broome and 4 hours from Port Headland. Basically, in the middle of nowhere.

Stopped to make sure they were ok and didn't need immediate assistance, quite a few vans had also pulled up, Wayne suggested that they disconnect the battery in case it caught fire, which they agreed was a good idea.

For the first time in weeks, there was heaps of road kill, mostly small wallabies, rabbits, and 1 very bloated cow, which looked ready to burst...yuck!

Returning to Broome was nice. We all like the atmosphere here. The Vacation Village is out of town a little bit and about 6km from Cable Beach.

Quick set up and went to find some lunch. Of course, we headed to a familiar Cafe right on Cable Beach. Beautiful location with green lawns right out front of the beach. A big and very good surprise is there is now Life Guards on the beach so it is safe to swim....so excited. Naturally, I didn't bring my togs.

Tomorrow is another day.Read more
