Post 82 – Broome

Broome - van park

 

 

Apparently people come from all over the world to watch the moon rise over the wet beach in Broome. "Stairway to Heaven". "Stairway to the Moon?

While not the flashest caravan park or the cheapest we did have a prime location over looking the town beach. This shot was taken from our site.

Horizontal Falls

 

 

We had hoped to do the Horizontal Falls out of Derby as it is cheaper but these tours had closed for the season.

It is easy to see why the tours are expensive when you see the equipment involved.

The large tides cause strong currents and whirlpools. I am surprised that with so much water movement the water is still so clean.

Bird Flower.

 

 

Ann had been wanting to see these Bird Flowers ever since reading about them. Just as we were boarding the bus to leave Kooljaman the bus driver came on board with one. (I am not sure if you are supposed to pick them)

Beagle Bay Church

 

 

The church was built of local materials around 1915. It was decorated with local mother of pearl and other shells.
