Given all we heard about Broome from fellow travelers we were pleasantly surprised. The weather, while warm, has had winds in the morning to make things interesting, and the nights cool to cold to make up for the heat of the day.
The town is delightful, albeit a bit crowded, as we have made it here for the silly season. I guess we can be thankful that we have a caravan site, and that we are leaving before the Broome Cup and the Speedway on Friday night (Next door to the caravan park)
One of the delights is seeing sunset over the water. We in the south east corner of Queensland cannot see this (unless you count Moreton/Fraser Islands, but you see land in the distance).
I have posted up images of Broome and the environs HERE
I am not sure Broome will be on my list to visit for the next 15-20 years, but if I ended up here for a week I would not be disappointed.
Fiona and I added to our coffers last night by having a winning crab in one of the crab races.
Interesting, and yet again proof that aussies will have a go at anything. We went to participate as a fundraiser for the local St John Ambulance, and believe me, after popping into the station here, they need as much help as they can get. A good crew, doing a job in a "different" set of circumstances, with only 2 paid staff and a heavy reliance on volunteer response after hours (and also during the day as 2nd officers).
