Alice to Broome

---

---

Greetings folks it's been a while since our last blog entry....we've had some technical issues lately...(that's mechanical issues not I.T. issues thank you very much).
Since the last update we bypassed the Tanami as we had issues with the trailer and the vehicle...so we stayed on the bitumen and went straight up the guts to Katherine then across to WA. Not much to speak of in between. Halls Creek..the town you want to bypass. We camped at a so called "Lodge" a few kays out of H.C. It was more like "Bartertown" from "Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome". I should've taken a photo but the dusty conditions would've killed my camera.
Broome is lovely....there's not much to it....the desert outback then the beach....but what a beach.
Great swimming ....good food....great fishing.....awesome sunsets.......definetly gotta bring the missus up here and stay at the "Broome Sanctuary resort"...nice apartments and not too pricey either.
Went on a charter I caught a nice Spanish Mackerel...Steve got onto a large Bronze Whaler....brought him up to the boat....then it snapped the wire trace like it was pasta.....adrenalin stuff!!
Next we go up to Cape Leveque then we tackle the Gibb River road.....
Adios Muchachos !!

Steve hooked a big Bronze Whaler and after a 10min battle brought it up to the side of the boat...then it took off and snapped the wire trace....bugger !!

Carnivores take note
You will not starve in Broome....food is plentiful.

Hi George, and the rest of the trio, sounds like like you've had some exciting episodes since your last blog. The photos you took were amazing, just like picture postcards. Coincidentally the weather guy on "Sunrise" was up in Broome on Friday and was standing on the beach where people go to watch the sunsets. Just gorgeous. Hope you're enjoying the beautiful warm weather cos it's pretty cold back home in Mebourne. Have you had a camel ride? Any way take care and I look forward to reading yu next blog. Connie x PS love the IT comment.

I'd give my right leg (well, may be my little toe nail on my right foot) to swap places with you guys! It was minus one in Rutherglen last night- although the Durif at Jones' winery made it bearable! The photos are gorgeous... it's amazing how many km's you've covered already. Looking forward to your next installment :)

Which camels were you guys on? And why a catamaran on land with no one aboard sailing? But oh that food - I should show Lucky the photos so he knows what he is missing out on since he decided to stay at home and watch over the cat.
