15th July to the 19th July Our Stay in Broome

15th July to the 19th July Our Stay in Broome

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I will start of with a map of Broome as it is not a very big place.

They say the population of Broome is normally about 15.-20.000 thousand people.

But in the tourist time it grows to 45 - 50.000 thousand people.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  

Pat and I went to see the old Pearling Luggers.

They only had one. the other one is being  restored.  

This is as close to a shark and Croc  I wish to be near.

You can stick your head in the divers helmet to have a photo taken .

 But Pat said no way thanks.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In the main part of the town their are three Bronze Chines Men Statues.

They represent the founding of the pearling Industry of Broome.   

This is a bronze cast of the Divers that worked very hard under water 

  taking care of the Cultured  Pearls. Witch so many died.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Some photos of around the town that is called Chinatown.

We found that all the shops are built of corrugated Ion and steel frames.

Even all the new homes are being built the same way.

It is because of all the Termites up here and all through the Kimberly airier.  

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This is the town Theater and a Museum so we all went in to have a look.

It was better than we thought.

Loved seeing all the old time Stars.

Yes it is an out door theater with deck chairs.

They still show movies here all the time.

Back in the Van for a while sorting what to go see next.

Well we all went to a place called.

Light House - Gantheaume Point Broome. 

I walk as far as I could. Then sat to wait for the all to come back 

Hey

Still waiting.

Still waiting and guess what they all came back. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Next was a very good time as we all went to watch Rose ( Rose is Ronnie's sister) 

take her camel rideon Cable Beach.

They have made a small drive way to drive onto a special part of the beach 

for cars to go onto so as to watch the camel rides. And also take sun set photos 

Rose is so enjoying her ride she is the last one on the end.

Her camels name is Black jack and is a new on to the team.

The ride takes about 40 minutes so the ride back has the Sun set to make the photo's

even more great. 

Ronnie decided  to go have some fun doing a few movement of something.

They turned out so good could not put all of them on as Pat took them in quick time. 

All waiting for Rose to come back to us and tell us of all her experience

of Camel ridding.

These to photo's Pat has taken as a plain was coming in to land at the air port not far away. 

.But the lights from the plain shone down to make a lovely show on the sand. 

They looked like space beings coming down.was great fun. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

last of the photos are of the Broome Shipping Harbor.

And surrounding beach .  

Once again I hope you like the photo's and our next lot is of 

Barn Hill not far down the road from Broome.

My Map is showing our way around Australia.
