Got up early and checked into our new hostel, cable Beach Backpackers. The 3 lads in one room and the 2 girls in another. Our room is a 7 persno dorm but, unlike most other hostels, its really spacious and a welcome change from the overly cramped van! Mark, Fionn and myself left the van back, while the girls went to the beach. we had a bit of a look around Broome when we still had the luxury of the van to travel round in and it seems to be quite a small town at ...

Well we made it all the way from Halls Creek to Broome today. We arrived in Broone at about half five and checked into the PCYC campgrounds for the night. The drive today was long and hot, as expected, but I'm glad we're in Broome with a day to spare before we leave the van back.

We got up about 10 this morning and checked the 3 service stations on the off chance that there might be some diesel somewhere, which of course there wasnt!

Did a bit of food shopping to see us through to Broome then back to the pool to finish my book. We didnt go to the ba...

We set off driving for Hall's Creek, 400 km away, at about midday with Fionn in the captain's seat and we got here in time to hav...

We got up early to start driving, we thought we might get away with not paying for the campsiteas the office was closed when we arrived yesterday but we got caught just as we were about to leave and had to pay the 50 bucks camping fee, only a tenner each so not the end of the world! Mark was driving and I was co-pilotingfor the first part of the journey and after getting some supplies in the local supermarketin Katherine (s*** hole) we set off. Our end goal for t...
