The Pearle Broome

... around attacking somethign on the floor. A SNAKE! A metre or so, thin, green-white snake was locked in combat with about 4-5 of these magpie things, it was amazing. We all ran out to get a closer look but by the time we got there they had all vanished. Wicked sight though, snake vs. birds. How cool is that? Sadly finished the day, said my goodbyes and emotionally left the beloved mango farm for the last time.<br><br>Ths brings me to now... There is still cheeking to be done but I ...

... with my friend since we were five. We embarked on the adventures of the frizzy haired whale and the lame-duck shrimp friend. So Em and I shared a room, it was a decent size. Well a decent size for a walk in wardrobe. I had the bed, Em made her nest on top of our suitcases, with a home made barricade for protection against the gigantic tropical bugs that also shared our room. We soon discovered that our cramped living conditions were nothing on our ...

... anything at the end!! All the good stuff is in that first 1km. We were extremely hot and tired when we got back (11.45am). We had showers at the campsite and continued driving.<br><br> We had a late lunch at Derby and continued to Broome. Broome is much cooler and we are looking forward to some much easier days!<br><br>We lay in bed for quite a while the second morning, thinking about what we are going to do when we leave Broome. We are both ...

... fresh water crocodiles. But for us the absolute highlight is contained in the next paragraph.<br><br>I have specially re-worded a song in my sheer glory of this adventure , it&#8217;s to the tune of the 80s movie "Ghostbusters"&#8230;..take it away now.<br><br>When there&#8217;s something wrong in your neighbourhood,<br><br>Who you gonna call? TOAD BUSTERS!<br><br>There&#8217;s an ugly frog lurking in your hood,<br><br>Who ...

... levels it is possible to canoe or walk through the whole gorge system but I think most people like myself tend to view from the top and there are plenty of marked walks although the marking is somewhat erratic and unclear in places. Here I saw my first dingo which was bigger and more furry than I expected, it was just wandering around the car park and seemed quite tame.<br><br>Having seen all there was to see in two days I decided to move on the following day as the thought of three ...

... from the dorms!! They took me round Perth through Parks, by the sea, wine tasting and I even got to see Koalas for the first time (they weren't in the wild but better than nothing I could actually touch them!! ;o)<br><br>What a trip!! 4600 km in 10 days!!!!<br><br>But it is time for me to go again... I am flying back to Sydney to pick up my replacement credit cards that Pat kindly sent to me... I will spend a few days there and then I fly to Adelaide to do the Great Ocean rd to ...

... a wander around the markets with no kids, and start to get a feel for Broome.<br><br>Sunday night was out to the Mango Farm( Pizza Farm as Craig and Claud's kids call it!) for wood fired pizza very good night again! I can see the waist line expanding by the minute!<br><br>The first week was spent with James looking for work and putting out resemes round all the builders. And the kids were enroled in the local school. We caught up with kate and ...

... Staircase to the Moon. We had to rely on the boys to pack a picnic for each family. We laughed about who would be able or not and Jill's predicament that Craig would need help was spot on.<br><br> Matt made a gourmet basket that made Lori proud, Greg's was pretty good without being gourmet and Craig decided to bring money and buy something at the market. He hadn't brought anything at all and was most upset when he realised that he didn't even bring beers for the evening ...

... not always being able to do the things you want. You have to really prioritize the things you want the most because it is quite impossible to do everything. It is also true that sometimes you have to give up things you want in order to make other things work. I decided not to go to Darwin because I found a farm through the program called WWOOF (Willing Workers On Organic Farms) that was willing to take me in. So I will ...
