Thursday 18 th April, BroomeRAC Cable Beach Caravan ParkCost $41.62 per night with membershipRated by us 8/10Mileage 17707 travelled 0Trip of the morning is out to Gantheaume Point an amazing beach onto which you can easily drive. The water is crystal clear and shallow with low waves rolling it, shame about the stingers it looks so inviting. It is safe to swim from May to October but we have been warned it is a bot early yet and the stingers are still about. We still had a good walk along they beach and I spent some time photographing the amazing rock formations.

Tuesday 16 th April, BroomeRAC Cable Beach Caravan ParkCost $41.62 per night with membershipRated by us 8/10Mileage 17707 travelled 0With the humidity lower and a nice breeze we decided to head off early and walk around Chinatown early.

Sunday 14 th April, BroomeRAC Cable Beach Caravan ParkCost $41.62 per night with membershipRated by us 8/10Mileage 17707 travelled 0Very muggy night and it was the same when we got up today, it is not pleasant.Decided to go and have walk on the famous Cable Beach which is walking distance from our camp site, across the road and over the dunes. The walk over the dunes was high and hot but the beach is amazing, some people were swimming despite the signs warning of crocs and the deadly Box and Irukundji Jellyfish, rather then than me. We did walk in the shallows and let Tippy have a paddle, still not confident to let him off his lead, when other dogs approach his recall goes out the window, shame really need to work ion ... read more

Friday 12 th April, BroomeRAC Cable Beach Caravan ParkCost $41.62 per night with membershipRated by us 8/10Mileage 17707 travelled 0Had a ride into town to find the Information Bureau we want to gte the Horizontal Falls booked then we can plan the rest of Broome around that.The staff were excellent and even recommended the bookkeeper from the office to look after Tippy for the day, she moonlights as a dog sitter when she is not working, clever move. The ladies name is Dot and she seems very nice the staff highly recommended her and I think it will be better than the kennels at the vet. Unable to find his Turkey roll so he will have to be on just kibble for a while, the vet sent us to a pet shop but ... read more
