Broome to Cape Leveque to Karijini

Well here we go again … lots more corrugated red dirt road … 100km to be precise and yep we were happy to get to the end of it!





Beagle Bay


Stopped in to check out the church that was built by the Pallotine Monks and the locals.



Cape Leveque

Camped a couple of nights and went swimming, walking, fishing, and of course watched the sunset.
and one of those little specs is Jane fishing
amazing sunset and this view was a couple of steps from our camp site
Middle Lagoon

We loved the Cape so much that we took the advice of other travellers and stayed 2 nights at Middle Lagoon. Now can you guess what we did here … yep went swimming, walking, fishing, and of course watched the sunset.

beach shack that you can stay in if you want to be that close to the water
The lagoon ... great spot for swimming and walking

fishing and sunset (again)


Eighty Mile Beach … between Broome and Port Hedland

Amazing you travel for miles and miles of absolutely nothing and then you come across a caravan park in the middle of nowhere. It was so packed we couldn’t even get a powered sight, ummmm …. what’s the attraction … and some people migrate here for 6 months of the year and there is nothing else except the caravan park and the beach -but a great beach with heaps of shells.



Port Hedland

Sorry no photos but did have to drop into the police to report a stolen mobile phone ummm … won’t tell you how I really feel about that little episode cause I would have to use some really bad words. Also called into the local telephone shop to get a replacement phone … and all I can say about that is that they charged $100+ more than a Telstra shop and they also charged a $45 admin/labour fee … I was speechless considering the whole transaction took less then 10 minutes!!!


Karijini National park

Spent 2 days exploring the gorges.

Fern Pool to Circular Pool walk.




Quickest swim by Jane ever …. absolutely freezing!!!
The view from Oxer Lookout where the 4 gorges meet was amazing and I reckon no photo would ever do it justice … so no photo was taken but did take some from the other lookouts
