The navigation was not too difficult when heading towards Broome, as the photo shows, 493km with no option for turning off! Freshly brewed coffee and biscuits helped the journey pass (as you can see in the 3rd picture!). We just caught sunset at Cable Beach, as we now kmow the sun sets even earlier now we are further north. At least it gets light much earlier though. Had a look around Broome, which has a feel of Asia about it because of the heat, tropical plants and some of the buildings. The Japanese bombed the town and harbour, with a total of 65 attacks just on Broome alone. In one attack 100 people were killed while sitting in flying boats at the harbour, the remains of which can be seen today at low tide. We drove east out of the town today and have started to see the unusual Boab trees, one huge one was where we stayed at a roadside camp.Read more
