We arrived in Broome noticeably early as we had no camp to put away or any breakfast to procrastinate our getting on the road. The climate became increasingly humid the further into the tropics we ventured, the land a little greener and glimpses of ox-blood earth quite sparse. We stopped briefly in the Visitors Info and found a campsite near the coveted Cable Beach. It was hot and humid, the kind that makes your glasses steam up when you go outside from an A/C'd ...

Now if you look back on the journey so far we haven't really ventured far from the ocean, whatever that specific stretch of water maybe called, The Tasman, the southern, the indian to name a few. So flinching through a glossy magazine of the area I noticed a National Park with pictures of glorious mountain ranges, sweeping planes and springwater gorges with swimming pools under waterfalls.

The drive again was very long over vast amounts of bush and outback but nearing coral bay, out of the ground stood gigantic termite mounds.So it's little wonder people don...

Satisfied we'd seen all that Cervantes and surrounding area has to offer we moved on.We'd been recommended to stay at Kalbarri for a stopover, so we did.It seemed a nice little town but the after effects of the cyclone were still reminiscent in the air, it has rained very recently and the estuary was full of brown river water which clashed with the blue of the ocean with a rather impressive brown/blue line inthe water. Now, no trip to the Kalbarri area would b...
