BROOME

Day 27 Sunday 20th
Odometer 22977 Temp

Our third B & B was the nicest and most expensive. We enjoyed breakfast outside next to the pool. I had a parfait with yoghurt, muesli and berries, raison toast and juice. Mark had banana pancakes. We walked to the courthouse markets 50m from where we were staying. We wandered around for an hour or so but didn't buy anything. We continued to Chinatown


to check out the jewellery stores as I wanted a staircase to the moon charm for my necklace. We stopped at the Cygnet Bay Farm gallery and saw the largest pearl, valued at over $1million.


We wandered through Johnny Chi Lane and bought some shoes before heading to the Paspaly Centre for lunch. I wandered off and checked out the Japanese Air Raid Commemorative Plaque


the Hard Hat Monument





and Sun picture Theatre.



I wandered back through Johhny Chi Lane from the opposite end and read the plaques which had the history of Broome.


We wandered out to Streeter Jetty where we could see hundreds of small red crabs as the tide was out.

We drove out to the Women of Pearling Statue



and stopped at the Japanese Cemetary




before continuing on to Gantheaume point. Julie walked down to the rocks to try and find the dinosaur footprints that are only visible at low tide.



I am not sure if what I saw were dinosaur footprints but they sure looked like it.




We drove out to Cable Beach to view the sunset.




We walked to Wings Chinese Restaurant for dinner. There was only one other customer in the restaurant. The decor was basic, the food was okay, nothing special but very expensive.
