Friday came and we hit the road again.
First stop was Beagle Bay to top up the
fuel tanks so we can make it to Broome.
To buy fuel here travellers have to
purchase a voucher at the general store and the manager opens the
pumps at 9.00am, 11.00am, 2.00pm and 4.00pm daily. The fuel pump is
about 500metres from the store so it is only available at the set
times. The fuel pumps are surrounded by a steel cage with heavy duty
padlocks to keep the pump secure.
We were lucky and arrived at 10 min
past 9.00 just as the pumps were locked. The operator said that if
we had cash he would sell fuel or we would have had to wait until
11.00am.
Just down the road is the famous
“Beagle Bay” pearl church. The altars in the church are covered
with pearl shell and are rather interesting.

A quick visit to the general strore for
a drink and it's off to Broome.
BROOME AT LAST.
CABLE BEACH FROM THE LAWN OUTSIDE ZANDERS RESTAURANT
Arriving at Broome and we got back to
the camping ground where we were before. Again one night without
power and then move to a powered site next morning as some caravans
left.
Saturday morning it was move to the powered site and then a
quick trip up the road to the local weekend market for some looking
around but not much buying.
Go to the market and you have to get
some hand made ice cream from a stall run by two women who are always
at the market and have a shop in Broome. Fresh and yummy icecream.
Back to camp for a check of the fridge
battery charging and a rest before we visit Cable beach for a camel
ride and dinner..

A LOT OF CLOUD TO UPSET A GOOD SUNSET
Sunday was a rest day Leigh went to church and I did a couple repairs on our gear. Weather was hot maybe about 30 deg.
Tomorrow is filling the food box. doing the washing , last minute shopping ready to hit the road home Tuesday.
A note about the weather here. It's
quite warm probably abut 29 plus each day and a slight breeze. In the shade
it is really nice with the breeze.
From what we hear we had better pack some of the weather here to take home with us.
