We were lucky to arrive in Broome and get a spot at Cable Beach Caravan Park even though we hadn't booked. It is peak season here and the caravan park is in a lovely spot and close to Cable Beach.

Cable Beach is beautiful and we spent time both at the north end of the beach which is where the nudists sun bake and the cars are permitted to drive. People put their boats and kayaks into the water at the south end of the beach which is called Gantheaume Point and the beach feels quite different there even though it is part of the same sand stretch but 6km further west.

This time we are here in Broome for more than a month so we have plenty of time to just live and enjoy the area without rushing.

The Port of Broome had changed since we were here last with the wharf being extended quite considerably. The iron red colours of the rocks, the turquoise blue of the water and green of the mangroves of Roebuck Bay are quite magnificent.
