Well we finally made it to Broome, arrived Monday afternoon, what a great time we have had too! We jumped on the bus Saturday 27th at 7.20am & met our drivers, Gregg & Enzo! Gregg was training that's why we had 2! There were 3 girls on the bus who were Kate, Kerstin & Kat, who have now all become great friends! That day was a really long day. We stopped off at a place called the Pinnacles, which was good.It is sacred land to Aborigines as many died there so that no longer visit that sight. Sat evening we stayed in a place called Kalbarri, we went for a meal at a place called Finlay's would definitely recommend the seafood platter! Enzo bet me a pint that i would not be able to finish it but i did, i paced myself out! I was the first girl in 4 years that Enzo has taken there to finish the whole plate LOL! We met up with another bus heading south, & met a girl called Charlotte, she was lovely & hopping to met her again in Sydney! We went to a pub which had a really good band playing so we all had a dance! Sunday soon came round and another early start, plus the clocks went forward too! We headed to the Kalbarri gorges think it was called the Z bend. we did alot of walking before going to Natures window which was amazing! after that we headed to Denham & shark bay, the water was lovely, we also paid a visit to ocean park, again would recommend that! We stayed at the Shark bay resort, ( i think) which is run by a brummie yay but he's a villa fan! i thought i would end up sleeping on the bus but lucky for me he wasn't working that night! Monday was yet another early start, Enzo was worse for wear as the had a gentle mens club on at the pub in denham, we went to see the stromatolites which looked like rocks, but there were cool for the fact that they are are ancestor's. Then we headed to Coral Bay, we had a party on the bus to celebrate us reaching the tropic of Capricorn lol! We spent the next few days in Coral bay just chilling by the pool or on the beach, we went on a glass bottom boat had a look at some coral and fish to . Thursday, we all went to the beach to watch sunset as it was our last night in coral bay. Friday, we jumped back on the bus and met our new driver Paddy! WE also met some new people, Dave, Kate, Cat, Marja & Neils.we headed to Exmouth & turquoise bay! We went to a night club lol, it only opens on a Friday til 1am and everyone goes there! Saturday night we went to Karijinni, slept in a tent, we shared ours with a little mouse, and the shower & toilet had a snake & spider, so i didn't shower that day lol! Sunday we stayed in place called Pardoo, & we stayed at a cattle station had another BBQ & i tried Kangaroo! It was really nice! There was a baby calf there too, only 4 weeks old! Monday we left and headed to Broome, it was like paradise, civilization, proper beds and a swimming pool!
