Broome, WA

OMG! We made it! Who’d have thought, just took 17 days and 5250 kilometres, but we is here, in Broome in Western Australia.

Found our van park, the Palm Grove Holiday Resort, right up near the world famous Cable Beach.  Pretty nice actually, even if it looks like more than a few are here for the Perth winter. Funny thing though, we’ve come all this way and seen 2 BMWs on the way, an X3 and a 1 series. Right here in this park there are now 3 BMW X5’s within 5 vans of each other. (Good, I thinks to myself, maybe I can borrow some bits to get my headlights working again!) 

Drove into ‘town’, and bought a few supplies and had a poke about. You have to laugh at this, there are signs all over the place that pedestrians must give way to cars, yet they still have pedestrian crossings. Why bother? Who knows or cares. We’ve booked a cruise for our anniversary, out and up the coast on an old pearling lugger to drink wine and eat canapés while watching the sunset over the Indian Ocean

On our way back, busting for a swim in the pool, I couldn’t resist it, had Judy drive the car down and onto the actual beach for the obligatory snap.
