Day 47 – Broome

Today was rising as usual and showering, dressing and breakfast. After breakfast we went out to the markets at the Courthouse. Although placed in exotic Broome, they were like any local markets, even down to the local school selling raffle tickets and touts selling things without paying stall fees. We did some shopping, but not much. Then we went to visit the Japanese and Chinese cemeteries – still an impressive sight! After that we drove down to the port, but couldn’t walk out due to work being done. Then we went to the fishing club and drove onto the beach there. It was only a short drive, so we went down to Cable Beach and ARTIE went along the beach for four kilometres and then four kilometres back. Then it was off to the Broome Museum, which has both grown and improved since I was there last. After nearly an hour and a half there, it was back to Coles for some shopping before returning to the YHA for lunch. I rang Abby but I wasn’t as interesting as pulling dress-ups out!
