    Broome

    August 30, 2023 in Australia ⋅ ☀️ 31 °C

    Loving Broome even though it is a bit of a funny layout.... Town Beach and the main Jetty are surrounded by mangroves, and then Cable Beach is on the other side with incredible sandy beaches!

    So much interesting information about the pearl farmers and the whole industry that originated here back in the day and the colonising of the Chinese, Japanese and Malaysians, up until the war.

    We happen to be here during the Shinju Matsuri festival to celebrate all 3 cultures every year (this is the 53rd annual festival) so enjoyed the free activities and Tom started to learn Mahjong with the oldies!

    The town Museum was a hit with a kids quiz at different age levels, and then dinner on the beach with Jilly, Mic and the kids to watch the sunset.

    We've also enjoyed a few days camping at Broome Gateway bumping into Jilly and the family again so the kids loved it! 💗💗💗
