Spring Creek Day ???
Did nothing
Broome Day ????
Bit over Broome, feel like we have been here forever.
Got pulled over by the Police today for no real reason and they went over the ‘Bird very closely, even put a noiseometer 🙂 on the pipes and threatened with putting me off the road. Let me off with a warning luckily as long as I leave WA soon.
Did a few touristy things this afternoon, went and saw the Crystal Buddha at Cable Beach Resort and watched Helen and Ivan riding camels.
The plan to go to Derby and do the Horizontal Falls has fallen through because the tides are too insignificant, off to Fitzroy Crossing instead.
Broome Day ???
Got the bike serviced but the bastards washed it on me and destroyed the street cred it had taken ages to accumulate………damn!! They have discovered a few issues with the ‘Bird.
Did a bit of shopping today for things needed.
Mr and Mrs Briz organised to have dinner on Cable Beach and we enjoyed a lovely chicken salad whilst watching the sun set.
Struggling with a TED after talking to my Bro on the phone.
The Briz clan sorting out dinner, ‘Where’s Wally’ showed up as well 🙂
Broome Day ??
Got up early and had a bit of a walk around the area. Ivan and I were booked in to a tour leaving at 8am.
Did the tour and then went back and picked up my laptop and headed off to the Internet Cafe on the ‘Bird to try and resolve some issues with a remote server.
Located the local Honda dealer to arrange another service for the ‘Bird tomorrow. Wasn’t it only the other day I had it done?
It was great to ride it without all the gear loaded up.
Had ’em scared when the ‘Bird went by 🙂
The Garmin has been excellent at helping this directional challenged traveller find his way around.
Broome Day ?
Left Barn Hill station camp today via the same sandy, red dirt goat track that took us in there but managed it much better at a slightly slower speed.
Rode into Broome via some very ordinary landscape to find an equally ordinary town, hopefully it will improve as we are to spend four days here.
Booked in to our accommodation early and then went for a trip in to town to have lunch, first Subway we have seen for a while. Ivan and I walked back home and took the opportunity to buy a few needed things while Briz picked Helen up from the airport (that is smack in the middle of town!!)
We walked in and had a look the open air theatre that was used in the movie ‘Australia’.
Some statues in Chinatown.
The ‘inside’ of the theatre.
The ‘outside’ of the theatre.
Ivan near my first boab tree.
