First full day in Broome, very much a tourist town. Coffee at the Dragonfly cafe. Followed by a visit to the museum surprising how much involvement Broome had in the second world war especially dutch evacuation of Java. Lunch at the green mango bit slow but very nice food. Many of the restaurants are in what is known as Chinatown it is situated right underneath the final few hundred metres of the approach to the main airport runway. That is the airport is in the centre of town.
Then a visit to Malcolm Douglas wildlife park. Lots of crocs seemed like a well run zoo, interesting flying foxes – like large bats. The park seems to house all the trouble making crocs from across the Kimberley. Quick visit to Town Beach Thursday market.
We stayed at a caravan park in Port Drive, very very small sites, hence facilities over crowded, real estate must be at a premium in Broome.
Spent an hour at Cable Beach surrounded by resorts and included its own area for 4WD’s to use. You may have gathered by now I am not a big fan of Broome, suits the Latte set who fly in and out though.
Ate at Matso’s one night – very nice meal and service.
