Getting "away from it all" ..... literally

---

Three months of taxi driving is enough to send anyone to the loony bin and especially when you drive at night. A lot has happened since my last entry and I decided to arrive back in Broome in May ...... or June. One of those. I was straight in to a taxi and working five nights a week and now I am on an "if I feel like it" basis which is really nice although I never actually do feel like it. The two nights I recently spent up at James Prices Point were magnificent and has made me hope even more that the idiot that somehow became the premier of Western Australia doesn't build a LNG hub there. They've already destroyed Broome ...... at least let the peninsula remain! The fact that there is NOTHING up there is what attracts me! There were three people that I encountered over the two days I was there and even that was too many ..........

I'd like to remind the people who like to check back every now and then that it probably would be a good idea to subscribe seeing as I don't update regularly.

So, enjoy the photos.

I'd occasionally have a break when I worked at night. I'd pull up outside and sit on the internet for a bit before going back out on the road.

This sign is at the start of Cape Leveque road, which is 9km out of Broome

op
This is where Manari Road intersects with the Cape Leveque road.

Manari road can be really good at times and as rough as guts at other times

Behind the dunes up at James Prices Point is a little track which joins many great camping spots and also forces one to let their tyres down. The vegetation is also very thick.

op
This was a top campsite. There was shade almost all day.

op
4WD only. That's how I like it!

op
Yep, bogged again. I guess I'm letting my tyres down more ......

The Shire have provided bins at certain points around the peninsula.It's good to see that most people use these.
