Broome - Cable Beach




We weren't quite sure on how to take Broome at first, it is in two obvious parts, the old Broome which is obviously quite run down in the back streets and new Broome which is effectively Cable Beach and the airport area. We grew to enjoy it pretty quick and stayed there for 5 nights working during the day and viewing the sunset at night. We went out for dinner one night which was pretty good but the sight we enjoyed the most was the sunset over Cable Beach. We were fortunate also to be there for the Stairway to the Moon but the cloud cover mucked that up for us a bit. The photos show the night sky.
Rachel found a friend who helped her hang out the washing or should I say guard it from all the backpackers. This little Spotted Military Dragon sat under the clothes line and occasionally ventured onto the hot stones but flicked his legs continuously as it was a bit hot at 39 degrees plus the extra heat from the stones. Rachel has heaps of photos of the little fella and since then we have seen a few of them either squashed on the road, me straddling them on the road or in the camp parks on the coast. Broome is good, very touristy and when we were there extremely hot, would be good in the dry season.
