25/7 Broome-just a bit more

The morning was spent sleeping and updating the blogs until we went for a walk to get to Matso’s for lunch. Matso’s is a brewery and the chilli ginger beer had been recommended by Janet. They call it “the Angry Ranga” This drink was indeed very tasty. If we could have taken some away withContinue reading “25/7 Broome-just a bit more”

24/7 Broome

What a different day to yesterday! The start of the day involved a reorganisation of our storage boxes and repacking of the camper. We said goodbye to our kind hosts and drove out. With no home for a few hours, we again headed for the wharf (now beautifully clear) and walked along the pedestrian walkwayContinue reading “24/7 Broome”

23/7/21- Broome touring.

We have had some strange weather while in Broome. For the last few nights as the temperature drops to mid 20s the condensation builds on every surface and it might as well be raining. Today was even stranger. It was as though the clouds had forgotten where the ground was and had dropped too far.Continue reading “23/7/21- Broome touring.”

22/7 Quiet day in Broome

Thursday was a quiet day. We slept in, went to the visitors centre to find out more info about Broome, had a delicious Thai lunch, did some shopping for groceries and then headed home via the treatment works where we displayed a terrible lack of knowledge. Some of The Australian ibis looked brown-but we wereContinue reading “22/7 Quiet day in Broome”

21/7/21. Birds and Broome.

We were up early to go on the shorebirds tour at the BBO (Broome Bird Observatory) which started at 7am. Ben, the current volunteer there took his 5 charges along with 3 spotting scopes along the track to 3 different spots. At each spot he stopped and jumped out to check if the rest ofContinue reading “21/7/21. Birds and Broome.”

20/7/21 Birdwood Downs to Broome

Al and Zita had managed to get in touch with the Horizontal Falls people. Apparently they have a mechanical breakdown with a pump but offered us a change to a rather different tour on Monday 26th instead of the cancelled one on Thursday 22nd. We’ve booked in for this so now we have to findContinue reading “20/7/21 Birdwood Downs to Broome”

19/7- Boab quarry to Derby

We were all packed up and ready to move out after delicious bacon and egg breakfast before 9. As we dropped by the Colwells Evelyn was all ready for a walk and then swim so we decided to walk too. We were really glad that we did. The rock features and the boabs were justContinue reading “19/7- Boab quarry to Derby”

18/7/21 Gieke Gorge and the Boab quarry.

It had been a noisy and mostly sleepless night in the caravan park. It only takes one group of noisy people to make the difference and we had had more than that. But we had a booking to be at Gieke Gorge for 9:30 so got our bones out of bed and got ourselves showered.Continue reading “18/7/21 Gieke Gorge and the Boab quarry.”

17/7/21 Windjana to Fitzroy Crossing

We started the day with a walk on the “Savannah Walk” before we headed down the road for Tunnel Creek. It was fascinating to see all of those bower birds pop out of the bush again once the campers moved out. At tunnel creek we changed into our swimming gear and head torches to makeContinue reading “17/7/21 Windjana to Fitzroy Crossing”

16/7/21 Mount Hart to Windjana Gorge

We had a quiet start despite a very early wake up ( compliments of the small noisy children camping next to us). Al and Zita had already gone when we went past the resort on our way out. We passed them quite a long way along the GRR just as we were thinking about morningContinue reading “16/7/21 Mount Hart to Windjana Gorge”
