Had an overnight free camp at Ngumban Cliffs on the way through from Kununurra (where I set up the Sat dish to watch Qld win the 2nd Origin game) and arrived at our great campground 20 mins outside Broome ($25 pn). - cheapest in Broome!
Spent a week checking out the sights including the famous Cable Beach, Town Beach, Pearl Luggers, the dinosaur footprints at Gantheaume Point, Sun Pictures Cinema (oldest outdoor cinema in the world), the museum and Roebuck Bay. Spent most afternoons having drinks and nibbles at Cable Beach watching the fantastic sunsets and camel rides.
Celebrated my last day at Telstra with dinner and some beautiful Mango Beers at Matso's Brewery.
The Shifting SpannersThis is a monument to the young, often pregnant indigenous pearl divers. They were thought to have larger lung capacities when pregnant, and were forced to dive without any apparatus resulting in many deaths.
