Day: 6 August 2019

The new triton was due for its first service, so we arrived in Broom early and were lucky enough to book into a caravan park not far from Town Beach and within Walking distance to the service centre. The town is so busy, full of tourists and most caravan parks are full. Once we got the car back we were able to go for a drive around and also do some groceries. That night we went to the beachfront markets and had market food for dinner and also our 2nd Mr whippy, ice cream for the day.

The beaches are spectacular here when its high tide, the water is so crystal clear and blue. Great taking photos of it. We went out to the Jetty, the gardens there are beautiful. The meals expensive.!

The last night in Broome we decided a fish and chip, sunset meal at Cable Beach was a must. And we weren’t disappointed .

Whilst staying at Barnhill Station we were invited by Chris’s 2nd cousin to go out to Bidyadanga Community. It is private property, and Carly is a child protection officer there, working out of the police station. There is between 500 and 1,000 Aboriginals living in the community. There is 5 different languages spoken,and it is the biggest community in W A. Carly lives on site, with her husband and 3 children.

We followed Carly and the Boys, for a drive through the town and out to the beach, it was low tide, so all was good till we both started getting bogged in the soft sand and had to let the tyres down.

On the way back we were taken through the scrub along the mangrove creek. Glad we didn’t have to get out of the car here, as it is prime Crock country.!!

It was a good afternoon, and almost sundown by the time we left.
