We've spent the last couple of days checking things out around Broome. The historical museum was very good a great display of the way it was. I found it interesting that they claimed Broome has the most cyclones of any area in the world. Spent some time in the port area, an afternoon on the beach that they launch their boats from, time on the famous Cable Beach. Also checked out the pearl shops and history around the Chinatown area. We've been surprised how int...

Sunday morning we drove to Bidyadanga Aboriginal Community about 50kms as we had to go out to the highway then back into the community. We were told they take offense if you go across country and enter the back way being about 20kms, when we got there they said that wouldn't have been a problem. We went to the Catholic mass which was a special one as 14 youth were being confirmed and the Bishop from Broome was officiating. It was a very special service. We have ...

I went so close to stepping on a snake, a King Brown, a reminder that we must leave the compression bandage in our back pack for when we are bush walking, it...

Went to the Marble Bar information centre first up this morning to get our bearings. Then out to Marble Bar pool and had a good walk around.

Sunday morning we went to the 9am service at the C3 Church (Christian City) in South Hedland and enjoyed it so much that we returned for the 10.30 service and were given a free lunch from their cafe, it's normally $5 and $2 for sweets, it was really nice and with a cappucino, nice. We met some really friendly people, it was a great day. We were then invited to a John Bevere DVD session in the evening. Their 47 year old Pastor David was sporting a broken collar bo...
