Last Day in Broome

Unfortunately today was our last day in this great place.

I dropped off Ilse and Andrea at the market whilst I got a couple of bolts for Alan and picked up our frozen fish from Val, Cameron's wife. With the frozen load I made my way back to camp to transfer the fish into our freezer.

Then back to the market to get my last Fruit Thingy for this trip, catch up with Astro Greg and say goodbye to Caitlin (see picture). A quick dash back to Kimberley Camping for some more frozen Mango then back to pick up Ilse from the market and drive her to the supermarket whilst I head back to camp to get the Mango's in the freezer.

A quick dash back to pick up Ilse and get another kilo of Mango's from the shop, drop Ilse and shopping back to the caravan, and back to Astro Greg's home where I had to do a bit of faultfinding on a telescope. After I had successfully located the fault Greg rewarded me with a couple of fresh Paw Paw's from his tree.

On the way back to the caravan I filled up the car ready for tomorrow's departure. It was 3pm by time all my running around was finished and I could relax. Later on we cleaned and packed up the fishing gear and got the caravan ready.

It's a bit sad that we have to leave now that we've met many of the locals. They all seem have a very relaxed approach to life and are very friendly. This weekend the Mudcrab races are on in Derby but unfortunately we'll be travelling in the opposite direction.

Tomorrow we will leave early and head south, hopefully as far as Auski Roadhouse and then onto Newman, Kalgoorlie and back across the Nularbor, a total distance of 5400km which we hope to cover between now and the 14th of August.
