We left Broome vowing to return one day. We drove out of town but turned north to travel up Cape Leveque road. It was the strangest road we have travelled so far. It was bright red dirt/sand and graded so much that the road was bowl shaped. It was quite corrugated in parts and rough. As we drove on, some sections of the road were bowl shaped then others became as narrow as one lane and deep, so that the sides of the road became red walls. Then in other places the...

We arrived in Broome after a couple of days in Derby, washing, fixing stuff and grocery shopping. It was amazing to see the ocean. We booked into a huge but lovely caravan park that had about 500 sites! We were 493! It took us longer to walk to the front of the park than it did from there to the beach! Which is exactly what we did once we had set up and had lunch. We were thrilled to be seeing the famous Cable beach! What a beautiful spot. The boys really enjoyed...

We left Silent Grove and had a very scenic drive for about one and half hours through a number of smaller ranges. We came into sight of the Napier Range, an extraordinary sight, which is one of 3 ranges which make up a 300km long ancient (360 million year old) barrier reef. It once was thought to be at least 1000kms long and up to 2kms high, but now parts of the range now stand at about 100m high. We set up at Windjana Gorge campground and after lunch headed into...

We left Manning Gorge after fuelling up and filling up with water too. Another hours drive bought us to Silent Grove campground where we set up and had lunch. After that we drove another 10kms to Bell Gorge. It was a relatively short and easy walk into the gorge, this time coming in to top of the Falls. There were lots of shallow pools to swim in and we could swim up to the top of the Falls and sit there safely like being in a horizon pool. The bigger boys walked...

A very short drive had us pulling in to Mt Barnett Roadhouse for fuel and water and to book in for the Manning gorge campground. After setting up we went for a short drive down the road to do a short walk into Galvans Gorge. It was a very pretty little spot with a rope swing and heaps of rocky outcrops for the boys to have a jump from. Ben tried to re-enact a jump from the very top of the gorge like Carlisle Rogers but he chickened out! It was far too high. The n...
