This morning we were up early just like the locals, Most of the people are very active from 6am and then all action ceases around 3pm due to the searing heat of the sun. We had our first ride on a Hovercraft today and fell in love with them! This is the only craft in Australia and not like a boat at all. The Hovercraft glided peacefully over all surfaces including mud, concrete and water. Most of the time we were drifting side ways as the steering laggs due to ...

In the evening we 4wd onto the beach, made ourselves comfortable on the tray and popped open a bottle of Champagne to enjoy our last sunset in Broome. We had the best spot on the beach with the camels walking past us as the sun disappeared over the ocean. Highlight today: sunset vi...

Left Derby and headed to Broome early. Unbeknown to myself, Mel had booked a room in Broomes only 5star Resort as a surprise! Surprise! I was so happy to sleep in a king size bed, watch tv and relax in the huge, luxurious pool- especially after being in a tiny little tent for the past 4nights and covered in red dirt! Spent the entire day locked in our luxurious motel room enjoying all the things we don't have in our tent or caravan! Highlight today: Egyptia...
