Exploring Broome

Wednesday 16th July

Carry on up the Creek!

 

With a strong breeze we decided to take the tinny out into Dampier Creek instead of the ocean. The creek was a deep sparkling turquoise blue beckoning us to swim but it’s a strictly look but don’t touch experience. It was daunting to step into the water after seeing the crocs the day before but to launch we had to hold the boat in knee deep water, Logan was on croc watch! With the sun overhead we motored through the creek trawling a lure for barra, but only caught snags!

 

Mangrove Maze

 

Deep in the watery mangrove maze we spotted what looked like pontoon, so headed towards it only to find it was a croc trap! Needless to say you only saw our wake as we powered away as quickly as possible, but it was a chilling reminder that these ancient reptiles are everywhere!

 

Camels at Sunset

We spent a peaceful hour enjoying the Red Sun Camel Safari on Cable Beach at sunset. Our camel was called Connor and was the youngest but tallest male in the camel train and the boys rode Cocoa, a 20 year old female. As the camel stood up it was like being on a rollercoaster as it wobbled and tipped all over the place. Once they started walking it was a gentle ride, the sun slipped into the ocean and peach light bathed the wet sand. The experience was very serene and a wonderful close to our time in Broome.
