Back to Broome - catching up with Rob S.

Since Broome, we have had no access to the internet, so I'll just add entries as I have access !

Thursday30^th June and Friday 1^st July

On the way back to Broome, we counted the cars that were going the other way, i.e. going to Cape Leveque or other places on that Dampier peninsula. ....47! A lot more than we expected.

It was great to meet up with Rob Scholes in Broome – he went to the Broome Bird Observatory where he was staying (the Broome caravan park would have been a horrible start to the holiday) and we went there after we had done shopping etc. We bought some Barramundi to have for dinner out there and it was sensationally good, so we had it again on Sunday night, and then bought some TripleTail which was suggested by the fisherman, to have at Winjana, and that was also a real treat.

We spent Friday going to various birding spots around Broome,

and Cable Beach of course!. The highlights: Frigate birds, Brown Boobies, and  White-fronted Whistler; we saw the ospreys catching fish and then taking them up onto the lighthouse scaffolding to eat .

 At sunset, we went to Point Gantheaume where the Ospreys have their nest, to see some Dinosaur prints in the rocks that are exposed at low tide. We scrambled over slippery rocks and finally found one of the footprints..quite a thrill.
