The One on Broome Time

Back at the ocean, we camp for the night at 80 Mile Beach. We roll off the bus, open the beers, and think about setting up tents. Another group are setting up their tents in regimented precision... we on the other hand put off putting our tents up, and head to the beach to enjoy the last of the sunset.

That evening we head to the beach and sit chatting, counting the shooting stars and looking for satellites.


Back on the road, and we finally reach our destination - Broome. Broome operates in its own time - Broome Time, and automatically as you reach it you chill out, and take things at a more relaxed pace.

Once more we head to Cable beach for sunset... I'm going to miss the sunsets once I go to the East Coast.

Then we headed out for a night on the town as a group. It is so hot up here. The nightclub we went to was an open air one, and there was much silliness, dancing, and silly photos taken! It's going to be hard to say goodbye to these guys.



The next day we have a free day in Broome and check out the Japanese Cemetery, and then head to Loggers, for a women's musical festival. That evening we watch one more sunset from Gantheaume Point (home to fossilised dinosaur footprints at low tide), then we went for an amazing Roast Dinner, before having to say goodbye to all our new friends.

I'd never had thought that 20 people would all get on so well. The sites we saw on this trip were memorable, but what was even more so, was the fact that we shared them with these guys.
