... dancing, throwing mangoes at each other and climbing the occasional tree to get those high up mangos. It was fun! We had lunch and spent the last four hours of the day cheeking. Cheeking isn't all that really, you have to stand up for hours and pay attention or risk losing a finger. But its Ok cos they were playing all their country/old school music all day and me and Chris chatted all afternoon calling each other a mofo every 1 minutes or so. E.G. "Nick Hawkins, Mofo extraordinaire", Or ...

So glad to be near a beach to finally not have to worry about crocs all the time. <br>Broome is lovely very touristy but still good <br>The famous town of Pearling in the world. My grandfather used to have a Pearl Lugger back when he was in his 20s many years ago. <br>Well we set up and decided to go for a drive to check out this place and to see if there is any work here ( no such luck with work )<br>Broome has a new shopping centre thiss ...

... where the water temperature is 28c, high tide is over 9m with perfect waves and the sun sets over the ocean (in Sydney, we have sunrise over the ocean). Oh, and we moved from hobo (with multi-coloured tarps hanging around the tent in the fly infested bush) to luxury as we ditched the tents and are staying at the very luxurious Cable Beach Resort to rejuvenate. <br><br>We are now half way through our Oz Adventure. Being on a ...

... always thought camels as really ungainly but they do have a certain elegance to the way they lope along the beach.  I had a ride on their youngest camel called &#8216;Diesel&#8217; who is only 7 years old.  I think they said that I was his first ride so I mounted with fear and trepidation as they said he would rise really fast and he sure did &#8211; I nearly went over his head!  But he was pretty good on the ride along the beach &#8211; he was a little spooked when we were lead ...

... of course the showroom didn&#8217;t forget it unfortunately.  The boys went and had a look at the port and had a cooling drink somewhere!<br><br>22 August<br><br>Over the last few days we have been to the market on Saturday, Hughie and Katie rode the "Ships of the Desert&#8221; or (camels) and they swam on Cable Beach, sat on Town Beach and all sorts of other things too numerous to mention!  Hughie and Katie returned safely to Melbourne today and we now await Mary and ...

... sind beliebt und schwer zu finden. So geniessen wir ein letztes Bad an der schoenen Cable Beach, bevor es weiter nach Norden ins Krokodilland geht und sichere Gewaesser schwer zu finden sind. Zum Glueck sind wir nicht in der Regenzeit hier: Anscheinend gibt es es dann immer wieder potentiell toedliche Quallen, die sich hierher verirren. Die Australier habens nicht leicht...<br>

... 8211; most of it in the water then of to Willie Creek Pearl Farm in the arvo. At the beach Mantha got stung &#8211; not sure what by &#8211; but it wasn&#8217;t a box jelly or an urakanji either but the lifeguard put some vinegar and ice on it and in 10 minutes she was playing in the sand with Kirstyn as if nothing had happened. <br><br>The Pearl Farm was interesting. Found out about the pearl oysters, had a cuppa ...

... had no clue where we were looking, coz the sun sets, and then its at least an hour inbetween until the moon rises, hence the clearness of the spectacle) and the whole crowd cheered! From then on the moon slowly but steadily rises and the orange sphere starts to grow, and then the light starts to seep across the mudflats to create a stairway effect (the tide goes right out, revealing the ripples in the mud). It was an awesome sight.

... It is then that Maegs sees Lori and Matt, Joden and Flynn and runs back frantically to tell Max. <br><br> Looks like there is a big gang forming and Greg's bday celebration will indeed be classified as a party!! The kids and I are all getting excited and hurriedly making plans to entertain like we would normally do back home. We organise a huge lamb pack and "boomers" for the BBQ and I make a gluten free cake with mint leaves -Greg's favourite lollies for decorations. I've ...

... an beautiful beach, but almost like a whole new place, the tide was right in, and there was almost no beach, just blue blue water, a few rocks &amp; a bit of white sand. Graham &amp; Paul had another successful day &amp; we had fish for dinner again. Explored some of the other beaches around Port Smith, and late in the afternoon found our way out to the 'Cliffs', with their magnificent views, limestone formations, caves, arches and long empty beaches. Paul got up early on Monday ...
