Broome

Tony & I haven't been to Broome before so we all decided to do the tourist thing & take the Double Decker Bus tour which took us all over Broome (we are still travelling with Ossie & Maria).    It was good a great way to get orientated and learn about Broome.  

There just happened to be a coffee truck when we stopped to see the Japenese Cemetery.    They definitely know how get money out of the tourist!     Maria & I did enjoy the coffee though!

After our 2 hour bus tour around Broome we decided on a leisurely lunch at Matso's Broome Brewery overlooking Roebuck Bay.  The ginger beer here was very good!!!

Kathy & Warren (also from Black Point) holiday up in Broome for 6 weeks this time of the year so were able to give us lots of information on Broome.    After having a Chinese meal, on Warren's recommendation, we went to the open air Cinema.  Quite unique.....    we sat in deck chairs, watched the movie on the big screen with the stars above us & as we watched the movie, planes were taking off over the screen!!    The cinema had everything from  popcorn to icecreams.....from left:   Ossie, Kathy, Warren, Sue & Tony (Maria took the photo).  

We met Warren & Kathy at the Cable Beach Resort for drinks to watch the magnificent sunset & the camels come of the beach in the dark with lights sparkling on them....then on to Zanders Restaurant over looking Cable Beach for dinner.... yummy Barrumundi & chips....

We managed to meet up with Kaye & Graeme in Broome.   We are all here watching the sunset at Entrance Point, Broome.   Looks like it has been raining here, but no, just where the tide has gone out!   From Left:  Maria, Kaye, Sue, Ossie & Graeme

Here we all are at the Broome Markets.   What a surprise to be able to see Mum & Dad in Broome 1/2 way through our trip. Standing at back Kath, Neil, Dad & front Kevin, Betty, Sue & Mum......we also caught up with them later at Johhny Chi's Lane for a Mango smoothie!!!  They were all travelling together.... caught the Ghan to Darwin, cruise from Darwin to Perth and flew home from there....

Maria & I on Cable Beach heading to our Camel Ride.....not sure what to expect!  I am not that keen on camels.... they smell, make strange noises & I believe getting up & down on them is a little scarey.....  but you have to do the tourist thing and have a camel ride at sunset on Cable Beach. 

This is Felix (our camel) he looks good sitting down but quite big & scary when he stands up!  Maria & Ossie were on Oscar who played in the movie "Australia" & he was even bigger than ours!

Here we are finally on our way along the beach to watch the sunset.   There were hundreds of people on the beach (with eskies of course) taking photos and waiting for the sunset.    Ossie & Maria are in front of us.    I think our camel liked Ossie!!!!

The Sunset was pretty special!
