Day 33 07/07/2013 Whale Song, Dampier Peninsula The fact that we are located on a north-facing bay, means that we can watch the sun set and also rise. We did just that this morning, and it reminded us of home, where, of course the sun always rises over water. Once again, it was a beautiful morning and I have to say that we have been very fortunate with the weather so far. This area has received some 'out-of-season' rain, but it occurred before we got here and al...

Day 32 06/07/2013 Cape Leveque to Middle Lagoon (Whale Song). We must have been tired because we slept in, (if you count sleeping till 6.30am as sleeping in), and missed the sunrise!

Then we chatted to our neighbours....a family with two boys..... and it must be our week for coincidences because they were from the Hunter Valley. The parents are both veterinarians and one of the bo...

Day 30 04/07/2013 Broome to Cape Leveque.It was a pretty chilly morning in Broome...really quite cool! After breakfast we went for a short walk along the beach, and then it was back to camp to pack up. We were on the road by 8.30 am. Despite all the dire warnings in guide books, and word of mouth information, the unsealed section of the road to Cape Leveque was not as bone-shattering as we expected. In fact it was overall quite smooth, with just a few short secti...

Day 29 03/07/2013 Melbourne to Broome.We are back in WA to resume our travels after just over 2 weeks. We had some great family time in Darwin, culminating with Helen and John's wedding. Then we travelled to Melbourne to look after 3 of our grandchildren for a week.We flew back to Broome from Melbourne with lots of other passengers seeking to escape the cold; especially families taking advantage of winter school holidays! In fact it is only in winter that you can...
