Day 100 Broome

 Today we got up early to get out while it was high tide. We went to a place called Crab Creek which was down the same road as the bird place we went to the other day. Same bad road!

The crab creek wasn't what we hoped it would be but we found the spot we wanted on the way back. It is a beautiful length of beach that has white sands, red sands and blue water.

We then went to Simpson Beach for a look as it is also down at the main large jetty where the port is. We couldn't access the jetty. So we went to the touristy jetty a bit closer to town. It looks brand new and it was quite the treat because turtles were swimming under it.

It was quite a windy day so the water was swirling up the sand so it wasn't very clear but the locals said on a clear water day you can see the sharks and other fish swimming around.

I popped into an auto spares shop to grab a new air cleaner for the car because we have been in some really dusty conditions.

We finally got to walk around all the shops in the main area of Broome. Very touristy of course. We also had a light lunch at a cafe, much better value than the pub meal yesterday!

We then did some grocery shopping  and headed back to camp for a little while to unpack the groceries.

We had to leave pretty much straight away again because we wanted to watch the Camels on Cable beach at sunset. Which we did exactly that. 

To our disappointment as we were taking the photos of the camels with the sunset behind them a very rude couple decided to get themselves in every shot, running down at the camels to take their own close up photos. Totally ignoring the 100's of other people standing back out of the way trying to get photos of the camels.

I couldn't help myself when we were walking back to the car the same self centred couple were taking photos of them selves so I deliberately walked in front of their camera messing up their shots and they knew exactly why I did it too. Humans ruin everything.

Anyway back at camp we had tea and went to bed.
