27/11/15 An earlier start

 Hi folks , today we got organised early before the wind picked up . Got the bikes off the ute and loaded the swimmers & drinks and away we went .
 We decided to ride around to the river , walk along the beach and continue along a walking trail back to where we started .
  The first part was easy , just followed the bike track to the boardwalk , then out to the beach - it was only about 1 klm along the beach to the track on the other side . It's interesting to walk along the beach pushing your bike , particularly if it's soft sand !! We made it over to a gazebo used for bird watching and stopped for a drink . Off again onto a boardwalk and then a gravel/ sand track alongside the river , fortunately there was an onshore breeze keeping the temperature down a bit - it was in the upper 20's . Making it to the bridge over the river , we crossed over and headed across a grassed area to the next track section - I looked down at the front tyre and saw 3 headed jacks sticking into it - that would surely mean punctures , so I pulled them out then checked the back tyre - same thing , I removed about 4 from the tyre and thought it would also be going flat ( it still hasn't 4 hours later ).
 We got back around to Granny's beach and went for a swim , cooling off !! After drying off , we headed back up the foreshore and rode up to the fishermans obelisk , before heading back to the RV .
 The afternoon was spent relaxing , watching cricket & cooking .
 Here's some random photos - Numbing Painted Desert ; Bungle Bungles ; Broome Sunset .



 That is it for today , see you !!
