Day 27 15/06/2013 Broome Well, we realised this morning, as we enjoyed a bit of a sleep-in, ('till 6.45am!), that in just under 4 weeks of travelling, we have crossed the Continent of Australia from east to west. And what a trip it has been so far! We are having a truly amazing time. Cable Beach in Broome has the most brilliant white sand and beautiful turquoise blue water. It was given its name because of the undersea cable which ran from here to Indonesia. Bro...

Day 26 14/06/2013 Derby to Broome. Loud music playing, (somewhere.....unlikely to be in the caravan park), until 4 am, did not allow for a restful sleep. It was our first noisy night of the trip and did not endear to us to Derby! Mind you, Derby does not really have a lot to offer the tourist. It is most notable for its 12m tidal variation and large population of Boab trees! It does not have a beach, only mud flats, but if you are into fishing or crabbing, then ...

Day 25 13/06/2013 Silent Grove to Derby.....the end of the GRR. Before we left this morning we had a short walk along the Silent Grove Creek. Then we packed up, hitched up the trailer and checked lights...... no brake lights again......obviously a more serious problem than just the fuse! We were hoping we could get it sorted in Derby. The first part of our journey took us through the King Leopold Ranges with some breathtaking scenery. We also passed a rock form...

Day 24 12/06/2013 Charnley River Station to Bell Gorge (Silent Grove campsite). Well it certainly was warmer overnight! I don't think I have mentioned that since we left the Diamantina NP we have not had a problem with flies.......however mosquitos are quite another thing! They are present in droves from dusk to dawn, and sometimes in between as well. I seem to be a magnet for them, so I am covered in bites! Not a good look! We were packed up early again and al...

Day 23 11/06/2013 Charnley River Station. We had time for a cooked breakfast this morning .......no packing up to do....it's great when we camp for more than one night! On this property there are several gorges and waterholes to visit and explore, and that is what we did today. I decided to drive; mainly to give Dave a break....he has done all the driving so far.....and also because we were not towing, so I knew that it would be an easier drive! We left at 7.3...
