Broome finally....

We departed Derby today for the 2.5 hr drive to Broome.

I often wonder whether Zander is taking in the differences in landscape and changes in surrounds that we see each day, Maverick is different - he just hangs out for creek crossings, cows, road trains & Boab trees, but with Z, I want him to take it all in being that bit older.

A half hour in today and he says - in his exact words "Daddy, this road is boring, there is nothing cool to look at like in the Kimberley." He is obviously paying attention which pleased us.

Into Cable Beach Caravan Park, not so happy about that given there are 600 odd sites and they are full. This is a tourist town that is for sure and a major change to what we have lived for the last month. Whilst our setup is pretty good, the caravans we see around the place are like homes on wheels & we feel like the poor little brother when among them, I guess that's why they call them caravan parks. We doubt whether we will ever see them in the sand dunes of Fraser Island or they might feel the same way we do at times.....

A major town means access to most things so while Nat took the boys to the beach for a walk, I  picked up all that I need to service the Prado tomorrow, fitted a new pull down clip on hard floor, high pressure water blasted all the red dirt off the whole rig and we fully set up camp - awning/Telly/floor etc.

5 days here should be nice, so we wanted to get that sorted so we could relax.

Dinner time and I was missing 1 child, here was Zander across the way in a caravan with a brand new friend, laying on his Mum & Dads bed with his feet on the wall watching a movie....he has become somewhat of a socialite and Maverick is almost as bad now too. Pleasantly for us people keep saying they are very well mannered, polite young boys - which amazes us because we don't ever get to see it!!!!!

Jase.....
