Kununurra to Broome

Hello everybody,
After we left Kununurra, we took 7 days to get to Broome. During that time we had 3 nights in free bush camps, which were beside rivers. These places are great for their atmosphere & the people you meet.We stayed 1 night in Halls Creek, which didn't seem as bad as we were led to believe. In fact we quite liked it. Whilst there, we drove out to Old Halls Creek, which was a disappointment as it looked like a rubbish dump, & the road was worse than a lot of 4/wheel drive tracks. After Halls Creek was Fitzroy Crossing, where we stayed for 2 nights. The caravan park was great, one of the best we have stayed in. We saw the Prison Boab Tree, the longest water trough in the southern hemisphere, & went for a cruise on the Fitzroy river. Next stop was Derby, where the tides are over 10 metres. At low tide the water retracts past the horizon, & when it comes in, it is so fast that the water is brown with mud. The jetty at the port is a u shape, & you can drive along it to where you want to fish from. It's all one way, so there are very few problems.We then drove to Broome & had managed to book into a great caravan park, where we stayed for 12 days. It is very hard to get a good caravan site in Broome at this time of year as they are constantly booked out. I'll blog again soon, Love to you all, Avril & Doug
