Broome, Sept 22- Oct 1

 
Back in Broome we took it easy and had relaxing time. The beach was so inviting with its turquoise sea!
We all enjoyed swimming as the water was nice and warm.
Nina and Annabelle had fun running along on the beach too. Annabelles favorite thing was to demolish the sandcastles that Manfred built.
The girls had some fun too with their friends Ilara and Max.



















Manfred and I took turns to go and see the film Bran Nue Dae at the Sun Pictures (the world's oldest picture garden, est. 1916). It was very nice to watch the movie in Broome, which is the setting for most of the movie (including the cinema that we were in).

We went to Gantheaume point at low tide to see ancient dinosaur footprints that are more than 120 million years old. Beside the footprints the girls had more fun looking for crabs.

One evening Nina and Annabelle had lot's of fun at the town beach playground and later on the beach looking for shells, hermite crabs and starfishes.



















Like typical tourists we went on a camel ride one afternoon. It was quite funny as the 4 of us were on one camel. But luckily we did the shortest ride of the day as the girls quickly got uncomfortable and soon had enough of it.
We watched the sunset that evening and saw the camel ride group coming back. It looked beautiful.


















We were lucky to be in Broome during full moon as we got to see the famous staircase to the moon from town beach. Very nice to see the moon slowly appearing at the horizon and reflecting on the sea forming a few stairs!



I am glad we got to go to Matso's brewery. It's a nice old building with a lovely outdoor area in the shade overlooking the sea and their beers are yummy (we tried the mango and ginger beers).

We moved caravan park for the last 5 nights and had a spot next to the pool and playground. Perfect!
Nice holiday feeling!
