Long kilometres to Broome with only roadhouses to break the trip. A brief sojourn at Eighty-mile beach (you'd think they would update it to kilometres by now).

Onto Cape Leveque, possibly the worst road in Australia. However, we did manage to get both the Patrol and Goldstream up there. We camped at Middle Lagoon but a croc sighting meant swimming and snorkeling was ... well interesting. No fuel at One-arm point station meant a nervous trip out of the Cape. We arrived back in Broome with the fuel light on.

Onto Derby, we are definitely in Kimberleys now. Boab trees, red dirt and spinifex grass.

If you had dramas with the Patrol, I'm sure the locals could have given you a tow with their Falcons. Mike
ReplyDeleteHi Cafferys, Sounds like your have a great time and we can't wait to see you soon. We are all very jealous.......We loved the picture of Luke in the helicopter, he is very cute!! The Crocodiles look very scary and they look so close to you! Camel rides looked amazing on the sunset. Loved the shot of the car and van going through the water. Lots of Red Dirt.....Luv from Ash and the rest of the Mulhollands
