Broome

The good part of being only 2 hours east of Broome, means it's an easy trip into town for weekend visits.

Plus the beach is there so more incentive for several visits throughout the year, I can see frequenting there quite often. 

I went into Broome last weekend and it was so good to get to go to Target and a few other shops that we don't have here in Derby. Such a help to buy things that I either forgot to buy, need or can't buy here either.

The weather was of course very hot when I was there and I was quite disappointed that the temperature of the beach water was likened to that of a bath! I was so dying to jump in for a refreshing cool off, but ah not to be. Luckily a cold shower awaiting me when I returned to the room I was staying in for the weekend. The water at Town beach was a most beautiful blue colour and was just a stunning sight all around. I am very fond of Point Gantheaume, which was my first point of call upon arriving. Just amazing!!! Photos cannot do justice at all, you'll just have to visit for yourself! I would've preferred to spend more time walking around up there and exploring, but it was very very hot and I just needed to be in the cool air con and have a bit of a rest after the long drive.

If you've never heard of or used Air BnB, I highly recommend it. Was great to find a very cheap room to stay in. All I needed was a bed to sleep in and a shower to wash and it was perfect. With the long drive, open and unfenced roads, it is not advisable to drive back from dust onward, so an over night stay was what I needed.
