Minus the little Rav we checked into Cable Beach Caravan Park to sit out our days in Broome while we awaited the new clutch. Lucky for us our AANT membership provided us with a zippy red Hyundai Getz and paid for our accomodation while the Rav was with the mechanics. AANT membership - just paid for itself.
Once a month in Broome at this time of year all the tourists flock to the eastern side of Broome to watch the moon come up and create a staircase to the moon effect. Not something to plan your trip around, but was quite beautiful to look at, and as a bonus they had market stalls selling tasty curry for us to enjoy.
May the 20th brought Lachy Mac's birthday which the Caravan Park kindly celebrated on their notice board. We thought the picture had quite a striking resemblance....
We had some of the delicious Matso's Ginger Beer with lunch as a warm up for dinner at the brewery restaurant that night.
We spent some time on the very beautiful coastline around Broome and were even lucky enough to come across two indigenous chaps using traditional spears to fish for yellowfin tuna right off the shoreline. They were happy to tell us their hot fishing tips and let us take some snaps.
With snorkel and masks in hand we were devastated to learn the crocs we thought we had left behing in the Territory had ventured to Broome. Lachlan, recently scarred from his Mary River experience, obligingly obeyed the sign.
We did venture quite close for some feet dipping, although for once Lachlan was behind me in the brave stakes and he stayed further back using photography as his excuse.
We spectated the obligatory but stunning Cable Beach sunset with the camel rides wandering past.
While Lachlan spoke to Elle and Grant to receive some birthday cheer.
We needed to wait at Matso's to be seated for dinner and much to Lachy's delight they had retro game machines to enjoy! From here he engaged in some serious steak eating while sampling each and everyone one of Matso's beers....
So cool...
