Friday, 12 September 2014 – Broome

By early morning we were back on the road to Broome and playing in the red sand again. The temperature was hitting 39 by lunchtime so we took a stress break lunch at Maccas back in Broome.

The speedway is near the Broome caravan park so knowing there was a meet scheduled for Saturday night we made a booking well in advance for a Thai restaurant that night.  But we didn't there was also a race meeting on Friday night.  We didn't go out that night.  Can’t win them all.

At present the spring tides mean the low tide is very low so I took a look at the WWII seaplane wrecks in the harbour.  The Catalina and Dornier flying boats, from several allied countries, were brought to Broome for safe keeping in 1942 but were quickly bombed and sunk by the Japanese. 

The low tides also gave us and the opportunity to see the dinosaur footprints at Gantheaune Point. Don't know much about the Dinosaurs but I think they were here some time before all the tourists. 

Lastly we did a big stock up to last the next few weeks.
