Broome Part 2

We spent a lot of time relaxing in Broome, it's that kind of place. However there are lots of things to see here. Tom and I checked out the museum which had a lot of interesting information about the old pearling days, before they began farming them. It also had information on the bombing during WW2 which I didn't know anything about.

We got to watch the staircase to the moon one night which is when the moon rises over the tidal flats and makes it look like there are steps leading to it.



Very hard to photograph without a tripod but you can get the idea from the above picture.

We had a great time catching up with the Thorne family including a BBQ at Gantheaume Point, another place you can drive right onto the beach. The kids played cricket and soccer and we enjoyed another sunset.




We took the kids to the Malcolm Douglas Wilderness Park where we saw lots of birds and lots of crocs. They had a tour guide feeding the salties, freshies and some alligators. Watching him feed 5-6m salties was unbelievable. You could get so close that Charlie got splashed when one jumped out of the water to get some meat! We were on the other side of a fence of course but there were plenty of holes in it!
