From Broome to Darwin

---

Hello again!

We have a backlog of blogging to do and being as we've had to start a shift at stupid o'clock (11:30 pm) we've got some time to kill!

So now I shall tell you the tales of our Journey north to Darwin, through the land of the Crocodiles, the many gorges, the cold water and the Bungle Bungles! Having Spent a short amount of time in Perth after the planting of thousands of trees we then decided to head north to the tropics were the sun shone and jobs were a plenty, supposedly. We decided to take a flight to Broome.
we landed at about seven in the evening and tried to find accommodation, not very sucessfully, it took us ages but eventually me ben and jim mangaed to find a place to stay, it was called the kimberly klub and it was really nice but definitely overpriced. the next day we moved onto "the last resort" backpackers, and believe me it was our last resort, little bit ming really! but it did its job, we ate and slept there and spent a couple of days at the most beautiful beach ever! (as you can see from the pics).

hmmm then what, oh yes we were skint so a plan to leave needed to be devised as we really did need to find work and broome did not appear to be a good place to do that! so we rang some tour companys and a day later hopped on a very expensive bus through the kimberlys that would after eight days take us to darwin! all very exciting and spontaneous! during the tour we saw so many amazing things, waterfalls, gorges, chasms and the stars at night were amazing so many shooting stars as well, it was perfect...to be fair the pictures do not do it justice, but we hope you enjoy them anyway!
