Broome

Days 36-39, Saturday 17 – Tuesday 20 July

Four days checking out Broome ( takes 5 minutes actually…🙄) then just chilling. Sunset at Cable Beach , walk through ‘old’ (😂 since when is the late 2000’s old?🤔🤔🤔) Chinatown, lunch at Matso’s and a scramble over rocks to totally not see or find dinosaur footprints at Point Gantheaume . Although there was a cool Osprey occupying a nest in the lighthouse structure.

Rest of the time spent walking on the beach and lazing in and by a pool .

A bit stunned by the sheer number of retirees. This isn’t a ‘young people’s choice place ‘. The median age of folks here seems to be at least twenty years older than Mark , and he is no spring chicken!

The weather is superb , which may account for the ‘Florida effect’, but perhaps the Broome juice isn’t worth the squeeze given the costs and sheer logistics of getting here . It’s nice, but crowded.

We are heading north tomorrow for four nights beach camping on the Dampier Peninsula . 🐚
