Wolf Creek experience aside, we were happy that we'd driven so far the day before as we managed to get to Broome pretty early in the day. There were lots of highlights.
1. Cable Beach Caravan Park: No photos sorry, but it was awesome. Massive, and a little pricey but really nice! Lots of shady trees, cute permanent sites and a fantastic pool! (My first swim of the trip!)
Looking back onto Cable Beach from the Southern Headland
2. Town itself: Nice vibe, good places for eats and drinks and nice little shops to look at. Couldn't afford any pearls but it was good to soak in the atmosphere. In particular, we had a great meal at Noodlefish - Hamersley Street Broome, and delicious oysters at the port restaurant.
3. Open air cinema: Seen in the film "Bran Nu Dae", a must do if you're in Broome. We were actually there for the opening night of the latest Harry Potter film and LOVED it!! Slung canvas seats, stars overhead, and made even more cool by the planes that come in for landing right on top of you. It all just adds to a super unique, great movie experience!
So the photos aren't great (taken from my iPhone) but you get the picture. These were taken prior to the movie commencing, I tried to get a shot of the planes landing but kept on missing them - they fly in over the right side of the screen.
4. James Price Point: North of Broome on the way to Cape Levique. We didn't have quite enough time to head all the way to the cape, but we had a great time exploring James Price anyway.
Nick trying to decide whether to dive or fish from the shore - the water looks clear but was actually a little murky close to shore - not quite enough vision to see any unwanted visitors!! (sharks are common and apparently there's the odd croc sighting too!)
Obviously, line fishing was the choice of the day!
Potato Cod ... I think :~)
My, what big teeth you have!
The red sand contrasting against the blue ocean was just amazing!!
The Wrap Up:
Glad we had: A shovel
Wish we had: Realised how soft the sand was (Just before getting to James Price Point we pulled in at another beach and didn't think before we drove onto it and stopped for a look - luckily there were some awesome fellas that helped push us out!)
