6 June Windjana Gorge After a much more chilly night than what we’ve become accustomed to, we slept in till 6am! We will have adapted to WA time by the time we leave . Morning routine was punctuated by a rather angry nomad crying out for someone to unlock the toilet he was in.... Stu v certain it wasn’t him even though he’d just been over there! Once in the gorge we opted for the longer 7km trek along the river bed. Great excitement at seeing the first f...

We spent Dave’s 40th birthday looking around Broome a bit. Explored the wharf and headed to Town Beach for lunch. Kids went to paddle down at beach which of course resulted in a saturated Stuart sitting at the table, Cam not much better. Adjacent to a water park so kids splashed around a bit before we headed back to sample Cable Beach which was at very low tide.
