Day 45 - Broome Rog cleaned the car and then we realised Bronte lost her thongs so we went to Bunnings to swap our first gas bottle then drove back to The Port and sure enough Josh found her thongs on the beach. We then had another swim at Cable Beach and the kids found their friends they met at Erldunda Roadhouse and Ayers Rock Campground. So we swam with them, the kids played in the sand and I chatted to the mum. Josh wore flippers this time and was having a ...

Day 44 - Broome We started our day in Chinatown. We looked at lots of Pearl Shops including Cygnet Bay Pearls where we saw the worlds largest fine quality white/pink round pearl at 22.24mm. We also looked in some other shops which the kids loved. As we were walking to Streeter’s Jetty (one of the oldest and only remaining jetty used by Pearl Luggers) a plane was about to land at Broome airport and it was so low we could nearly touch it! We then walked to Sun P...

Day 43 - Derby to Broome (219kms/2.5hrs) Again thankfully we didn’t have any issues at the caravan park last night and the police continued to patrol.

We looked at Town Beach and the kids were desperate for a swim but we decided we would swim later. We went back to the Tourist Information to get some more info on Derby then did a quick shop at Woolworths then headed back to the caravan. We had lunch then had a lazy afternoon at the caravan...

We had a slow morning and left the caravan at 8:30am. We went for a walk along cable beach, collecting a few shells and paddling our feet and then we decided to change into our swimmers. The kids had a quick play in the park and then it was back to the beach for a swim and play in the sand. Josh found a large hole that someone had dug out so he thought it was great sitting in there while the waves washed in. He also enjoyed catching the waves in with his flo...
