Alan & Lyn's Huge Adventure: 30/6/21 Broome

Back to Broome , after Barn Hill we stayed at Roebuck Roadhouse for a few nights , mainly because we weren't sure where we were going - further north , turn back south again or stay ??? Then another option popped up . Emma had broken a bone in her shoulder and was finding it hard to get around her normal days work , as well as getting to doctors & shopping etc etc , so we talked and decided Lyn would go down for a while to assist her for a few weeks - and I would stay up here in Broome . That decided we booked flights to & from Perth , funny , we could get flights any day , but Sundays were the cheapest by almost 50% , so Sunday it was . We'd just done a big shop , fridge was now full & overflowing with food and it's Saturday afternoon , time to get organised for the departure tomorrow . Neither of us were too excited about our new decision , but it was easier and cheaper , not to mention a hell of a lot quicker than driving back to Perth . After an uneasy night's sleep , we organised some food and packed a bag , and organised some accomodation for me for the next week - which was all I could get at the moment . Broome is very , very busy already this tourist season , so finding somewhere for the other 2 weeks was going to be interesting . Those problem's aside , it was time to head into Broome and put Lyn onto a plane . It was a quiet drive in , neither of us sure of how we were going to handle being separated for 3 weeks , not a problem you say? this would be the longest period that we've been separated for in a very , very long time ! probably about 18 years !!

We got to the airport and had to find a mask , no mask , no entry ! luckily we had some in the ute . All too soon Lyn was boarding the plane and I was left to my own devices . The plane was running late by about 20 mins , so that was going to mess with Lyn's connecting bus & train services in Perth .

I headed out to Gantheaume Point after driving around to the Port , it was time for some fresh air & exercise to keep my mind active . I had the chance to explore a lot of the rocks out on the point , hope you don't mind rocks & pindan red , the combination of colours here is amazing !

Wind , water & erosion have shaped the rocks into abstract designs , shapes , steps etc .

The lighthouse seems to be dwarfed by the rocks here , but definitely isn't .

The tide wasn't low enough to go down and see the dinosaur footprints this time , so I just had to climb in & around all the rocks . Colours change quite a bit in the rock layers .

Then there's the Pindan red layer covering over the top of more rock layers - make a stunning scene with the ocean a stone's throw away . The white sand in the distance is Cable Beach .

Back to the ute for a drink , I headed down to the beach where a lot of the cruise boats start from to find there were already a lot of vehicles down there , just getting ready for sundowners .
