Day 47: Broome (Cape Leveque)

This morning we had to drive 208 kilometres to Cape Leveque. The first 108 kilometres was crap - badly corrugated and bulldust dirt road. The last 100 kilometres however was first class two lane bitumen, probably because the last 100 kilometres was on indigenous land.

Not long after we hit the bitumen, we detoured into the indigenous community of Beagle Bay. We didn't see the bay but visited the historic church where inside it is ornamented with pearl shells.

We then drove on to Cape Leveque and as we were an hour early to move in we had lunch and then explored the area.

Our 'tent' is terrific. I told Lorelle I could retire here but she said it would use up my superannuation too quickly ($260 per night). It has a permanent bathroom/kitchenette plus an add-on tent plus a balcony and 5 burner BBQ. Really it is excellent. I might put a couple on our dam, lol....

The Cape has beautiful beaches on both the east and west sides. There are no crocodiles or stingers. (They didn't mention sharks!) You can swim, fish, go on fishing trips, eat, drink and relax......

We had a beautiful swim this afternoon. The water was a fantastic temperature - a little bit warmer than Broome. Tonight we will have a BBQ tea on the verandah washed down with some wine and tomorrow, apart from swimming and relaxing, we were going to visit the One Arm Point Inigenous Community where there is a trochus hatchery - don't ask - I'll tell you tomorrow......
