BROOME

We have just had a wonderful 7 days in Broome. The weather was hot about 33 degrees each day, clear blue skies and a gentle breeze late in the day. We stayed at the Broome Vacation Village which is about 4 kms from the centre of Broome on the way to the Port area. The cabin although not flash was comfy and meet all our needs. When we arrived on the Sunday we collected our hire car a little 4 door Getz and on the way to where we were staying dropped into the Information Centre and then had a quick look at the weekend market which is held at the court house each Saturday and Sunday, after a quick look around and a hamburger (yummy) we checked in at the caravan park and set about organising ourselves. Found the supermarket and got supplies. On Monday we booked several tours and in the afternoon did the Pearl Lugger tour and the camel ride at Cable Beach. Tuesday we went to Windjana Gorge and Tunnel Creek.On the way we stopped at the Boab Prison Tree. On Wednesday we drove to Derby for a look and lunch and on Thursday we did the big trip to Cape Leveque. We visited Beagle Bay where the beautiful Scared Heart church is. The main alter is made from white pearl shell.. something to see really beautiful. From there to Lombadina and then to the Cape where we had lunch on the beach followed by swimming for those who wanted too or like us strolled along the coast line.We then returned to the other side of Cape Leveque to the red cliff area and then met up with our guides who took us to One Arm Point to go mud crabbing.
