We’ve had a great time in Broome the past few days, though it was a rough start for Shanti, who caught Max’s bug from the trip up. A day spent sleeping it off and all is well again.

We caught up with some friends we met randomly years ago in Coral Bay whilst camping - great fun, and watched a beautiful sunset at ‘Ganth’ (Gantheaume Point)

We visited the museum today, in order to research Hugo’s school project on explorers, then a quick ‘top up’ grocery shop in preparation for tomorrow’s trip North.

Whilst enjoying the moon we were alerted to thousands of hermit crabs scuttling along the grass, dunes and beach below us. A magical hour was spent watching, chasing and collecting them. One for the memory books. No photos - this experience was caught on the video camera.

We also managed to bath the baby tonight, who you can see really struggled with the experience!
