We're back in Broome, it's just too easy to stay here! Still camping with Lisa, Steve and Torah, we've developed a rather communal lifestyle, sharing the shopping and cooking, and cases of beer. We checked out the dinasour footprints at Gantheume Point, hung out some more at Cable Beach, sampled some of the local cuisine, and dove into the pearl lugger history of Broome. We even got to handle a $180,000 pearl - surprisingly, Lee wouldn't buy it for Lea... The b...

After originally planning to stay 2 nights at Cape Leveque, we ended up staying for 5 - this place is beautiful! Set up camp next to Lisa, Steve and Torah, and we had a great spot overlooking the ocean, complete with a fireplace. Our days were spent swimming and fishing and more swimming and more fishing, and lots of playing with Torah. We met a guy named Wayne (he and his wife Wytske are regular visitors to Cape Leveque), and he gave the guys the low-down on t...

It's fantastic being back at the beach! Got to Broome and caught up with some friends we'd made in Darwin - Bree and Matt, from Geelong.

But the sign came up with the goods and we joined another couple for an unexpected ice cream. We set up camp at Windjana Gorge and took the camper off fo...

We were back on the wonderful Gibb (barra-enhanced euphoria) stopping at a few more gorges for a swim and a couple of over-nighters, including Drysdale Station which is some 60km up the Kalumburu Road, man was that a crap road. Diesel, the aboriginal legend that got us the mullet bait at Home Valley, had warned us about the road and we thought we'd go that far and make our mind up. We took no convincing at all that this was as far as we wanted to go, and spent a ...
