Dragonflies

I forgot to mention the dragonflies we've been seeing! Apparently they emerge when the wet finishes so we are seeing millions at the moment.

At Bitter Springs, they hovered over the water as we swam-red, blue, jade green, fluro green/yellow, black, black and gold, bronze, while here in Broome they are a more sombre colour, but much bigger. We walked down Cable Beach this morning followed by hundreds of them. We saw heaps of hawks (up to a dozen in the air and at least 16 resting on the beach) which we thought must be catching and eating them on the wing.


I'm really enjoying Broome-I think arriving here before the main tourist season and staying in the virtually empty park helps. Plus, the weather is gorgeous and the place is beautiful after the wet with all the frangipani and bouganvillia in bloom. We enjoyed a 5k walk on Cable beach this morning. We virtually had it to ourselves apart from a handful of nude sunbathers.


Tonight we're off out to dinner with friends Beth and James. BYO Italian which I'm looking forward to.
