Mr double slack here, missed another night but I have a slight excuse. The caravan park put on a sausage sizzle with music, bring your own chair and drink, which was very pleasant. We also caught up with a couple from an earlier campsite.
We were up early, for us that is, leaving Thursdays camp at 7am to drive in to Broome. The van was booked in for a service, so we dropped it off and got a car from the service company and started to make the best of the day. First up we got a site at the Pistol Club Overflow park, they are only the allowed to operate when the major parks are full (so we were told) and they are full. The major parks also charge $15 to $20 per night more. Next to Bunnings where I got a cordless chain saw to enable me to cut wood for fires. Then to Chinatown to look around have a milkshake, pick up the water cap that I left in Fitzroy Crossing that had been posted down to us and to do a bit of shopping. The shopping part didn't happen because madam didn't need anything that could sit in the hot car. Cable Beach looked beautiful, although there was not many travelling boats in view, and we had a walk on Gantheume Point. At 2.30pm we called in to get my paddie and, surprise, the van was ready. Back to the shops to pick up a few bits and pieces then off to the caravan park.
This morning, up at our usual hour, I had a walk up and down the road and around the park. We cleaned up and headed for the Broome markets. They have a good reputation and are much like any other markets, lots of very active and good food stalls, plus the usual hsndcrafts, clothing etc. After the markets we headed out of town looking for somewhere to park for the night. Another surprise madam stopped on a deserted rest area, maybe someone else will join us!
