Middle Lagoon

Today we left Broome for Middle Lagoon which is about 160klm north of Broome towards Cape Leveque & then another 40 odd klm west to the coast, unsealed road.

Nice spot, run by an indigenous lady. I was told to have a look around for a spot by another traveller & not to just take what she gives you. I am glad I did, for the same price we got absolute beach front at the top of a dune, overlooking the bay. No power but we are self sufficient.

Set up & down to the beach for a swim and fish. I hooked a Long Tong which was different, much like a barracuda and he snapped my only popper so a big cranky. Nothing else took any bait.

It got a bit squeezy by dusk with the whole ridge full of campers, which is OK but we had this knob come and camp beside us complaining he couldn't get his caravan in, implying we didn't give him enough room. We were 1m+ inside the line, not our fault he is an amateur driver.

Then out come his feral kids!!! Now I know ours are far from perfect, but we discipline them when needed. We had just washed the boys and their son comes over and entices the boys  to play in the dirt. We said no, well in earshot of the knob explaining they had just had a bath, and he might as well  have encouraged it because while watching them, he didn't say anything to his boy...and filthy they got after getting them clean at dusk.

We bathed them again in a bucket and had an early night.....

Jase.....
