Broome

Well, thank goodness, we are in Broome for 8 days-I need the rest after all the driving.

I was tired and slept a lot of the 400ks to get here from Fitzroy Crossing, but did stay awake to watch 60ks of bikes, bike riders and support vehicles go by. They were meant to be riding the Gibb River Road but with it closed, had to take the Great Northern Highway instead. I felt sorry for anyone going their way, or trying to pass us; it just wasn't easy for the 60ks of road they took up!

We arrived here around 2.30pm to find the park half empty and a lovely site chosen for us by management as a friend of Beths (thanks Beth). The sites are big and shaded anyway, so it would be hard to get a bad site, but we are close to the pool and toilets which is always good! We set up, got the boat and trailer organised, did some shopping, watched the sunset and ate curry for dinner. A good day!

It's cold here apparently-26 has sent the locals into their scarves and jumpers while we think it's just perfect. We'll have a fish this afternoon then catch up with Beth.
