Last night the calm weather ended when the wind strengthened with gusts up to 50kph. The Bushtracker was rocking and rolling as the gusts hit the side of the van. The wind continued until mid afternoon, turning the mangrove into a surf beach.
We went to town in search of breakfast, and settled on the Green Mango Cafe, sitting outdoors under the shade. The coffee was good but food not brilliant.
In 2016 we spent more than a week in Broome waiting for a new alternator for our Jeep. We had two dogs and two cats with us, while we were camped at the PCYC grounds that had more prickles than grass.
We revisited Chinatown and Cable Beach. Sun Pictures, the world’s oldest outdoor picture gardens, continues to operate and is open to visitors between shows.
From our camp site we can see the port so went for a drive there. The jetty kiosk no longer operates, but we remembered having lunch there when trucks drove very close carrying live cattle for export.
We drove to Gantheaume Beach where cars park on the sand.
Cable Beach was not crowded and we easily found a car park. The camels passed us heading towards the beach.
There is a new mural on a water tank that is on the Silo Art Trail. It was painted by artist Mel McVee with help from students from North Broome Primary School.
I walked Bluey to the jetty and he caught up with his friend Alex.
We had dinner in the garden at Matso’s where we could take Bluey. I took his mat and he lay quietly without attacking the shoelaces of the waitstaff. Anita enjoyed her rack of lamb but my dish was not very exciting.
