Broome

Western Australia

1500kms from Katherine, it took us 15hrs over 2 days to get here.

Broome is a winter holiday resort for all Aussies living in the southern half of the coast where the temperatures are very cold at the moment. Even though there isnt too much to do, weve still had a good time in Broome, we met up with some Aussies at our campsite, travelling up the coast for winter. We spent the first week with them lot, going to the beach, horse racing and of course a bit of drinking.

Stairway to the Moon. This is a natural phenomenon that occurs evry month when there is a full moon and the tide is low enough. The moon rises above the horizon and they say that it looks like the mud flats are giving the impression of a 'Stairway to the Moon'.

On attempting to leave Broome a week ago we our engine basically blew up. So there we were stuck in the middle of nowhere with no signal on the phone hopelessly flagging people down to see if we could get towed the 120km back into Broome. Luckily for us someone had the means to bring us back and we have been here until today.
