Bali Hai Resort Broome

... which was all set around the Kimberley &#8211; there&#8217;s a claim to fame for you! <br><br>On our last night we returned to the beach to watch the sunset though this time were greeted with funny looks as we are all sunburnt! Especially Rachel who apparently now looks like the lobster from the Little Mermaid&#8230;<br><br>We&#8217;ve enjoyed our time here but are off again down the West Coast tomorrow before we get too settled.

... this grand tale has a tragic ending! The road leading in and the surronding area is marked everywhere with spray painted signs and on the road, "NO GAS". The exact spot we camped is marked for the building site of a natural gas processing plant. The protest signs and petitions have failed and the project will begin construction soon. It is a very sad fate for such a place, where ...

... tow truck to take Anita back, once more, to her spiritual home of Tom Price.<br> Whilst the boys contemplated a future in the iron ore mining industry, Anita suddenly had a second wind after a stint back in the garage and finally, after two days of false starts, the little lady was back on the road.<br> Reunited<br>In Broome, we settled into a regular routine. Approaching Northern Australia, you're suddenly hit by a wall of heat that leaves you ...

... Lewis sang it with passion.  The pianist was David Wickham and he was just brilliant throughout the whole evening &#8211; big night for him.<br><br>It was a really memorable evening and everyone seemed to enjoy it.  A late night for us as well given we usually go to bed quite early (as does everyone else on caravan sites)! <br><br>30 August<br><br>Given the late night and everything else involved with late nights (alcohol) I thought I should get up early and go for a walk along ...

I've spent the last week in Broome on the West Coast, which is a pretty idyllic spot. It has more than its fair share of photographic studios and art galleries, which is understandable considering the towns location. Going down to Cable Beach for a few beers at sunset, with the Indian Ocean spread out in front and the big skies of The Kimberley behind, you have to dig fairly deep to come up with a good reason why you'd ...

We have finally left the comforts of Broome and the drive out to Fitzroy Crossing was easy going enough for the first day back!<br><br>Fitzroy is a true outback town on the Great Northern Highway with a large Aboriginal population. It is a great location for Geikie Gorge which is really why we stopped. <br><br>We asked the care taker at the camp site what else there is to see " the burnt out supermarket ...

... at pearl jewellery however there is some nice Aussie pearl stuff, but most of it is imported.<br><br>So what did we do while we were here? Well as most days were in the low to mid 30 degrees in temperature we spent a lot of time at cable beach. The sand is not snowy white and is verging more on a light sandy mud, but the water was crystal clear and very refreshing. The northern part of cable beach has 4wd access and when the tide is out it is ...

... sense, but amazing -and disapointing for us :) <br><br>We have met some interesting people on our travels and today we met a man staying the caravan park who has a limo here for rent! We were shocked when we saw this limo pull up but he comes here for the peak season - alot of people do the same thing - just come here for the peak season for work. Apparently in the 'off' season (which is our busy season) the place is ...

... windswept spot, with lots of dirty brown water and our first Croc warning. Needless to say, we decided that the pool at the caravan park seemed more inviting! Kay got away with no problems. Monday the three of us hit Woolworths and got in some more supplies, and made the huge trek to Point Samson, a mere 60 kms from Karratha. We stayed in the original caravan park there, right next to Moby's Seafood restaurant &amp; the Point Samson Tavern. For some reason, I refused to ...

... thing for us is that it is the birth place of our favourite beer, matsos brewery do a mango beer which is just the best I've ever tasted and gets drank regulary in clancys fish pub (in Freo) so couldnt help but spend the full day their sampling all what the brewery had to offer plus the matsos curry hut well worth a trip.<br><br>Alex and monica
