We are just finishing our time here in Broome. It’s been a great 4 days with most of the days spent in the caravan park pool and the evening spent down on Cable Beach watching the camels and the beautiful sunsets. Which by the way, is a very popular pastime around here…..everyone in town seem to walk from all directions straight to Cable Beach as the sun is getting lower, watches the sunset, then they all disappear into the restaurants or the darkness to return home. This place has a real relaxed feel about…..it’s like time doesn’t exist…
Cable Beach – Broome
Sunset at Cable Beach
Swimming at the caravan park.
We had great neighbours at the caravan park so the kids were pretty happy.
It’s a very friendly place as well with all of the locals growing up in Adelaide it seems….well it felt like that …everyone we spoke to said they grew up in Adelaide anyway.
We visited Broome Baptist Church on Easter Sunday which was good, the boys couldn’t believe how small the congregation was but they enjoyed it. We even bumped into some people from Craig and Leonie’s church in Perth. It was really good to be so far from home and still celebrate resurrection Sunday in such a special way. Isaac said he wants to stay here and go to that church every week.
Simon got up early on the Monday and went to the Dawn Service which had about 3000 people there. We went and checked out the memorial the next day.
After watching the camels for that last three nights we got our chance to have a ride on them….and I must admit it was pretty fun thing to do. Isaac and Ethan where a little worried and it didn’t help that Ethan and Simon got put on the biggest camel there.. Malachi was his name and he was massive.. In the end Ethan nearly fell asleep so he couldn’t have been to scared.
Our ride for the arvo.
We are camel no.2,3 and4..you might have to take our word for it.
We are leaving this little oasis in the morning and heading east to see what we can see of the Kimberly’s.
Hope you are all well xxx
