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. Bronte got scared again though and ended up in our bed so none of us slept well. We had a slow start and Bronte and I went for a walk towards the jetty. I made some phone calls to find out where to stay in Broome. We then said our goodbyes to our neighbours (where the kids spent many hours talking to them and p...

Day 42 - Horizontal Falls Thankfully we didn’t have any incidents last night and the police did lots of patrols through the caravan park.

Day 40 - Leycester Rest Area to The Lake Ellendale Rest Area (478km/7hrs) We all woke up freezing cold this morning (apparently it dropped down to 2 degrees) and I had packed the doonas away. Today is a driving day halfway to Derby so we left the Rest area at 6:30am. Thankfully another caravan overtook us so he had to stop for the cows to cross the road. There was plenty of notice though so we could all stop. We also had to stop for roadworks. We filled the ...

Day 39 - The Bungle Bungles (165kms) We were up at 5:30am and ready for our day trip to the World Heritage Purnululu National Park (The Bungle Bungles). The Bungle Bungle Range is renowned for its striking banded domes; the worlds most exceptional example of cone karst formations. They are made of sandstone deposited about 360 million years ago. Erosion by creeks, rivers and weathering in the past 20 million years has carved out these domes, along with spectacu...
