Beautiful Broome

We had booked a caravan / unit before we left home and were pleased with our accomodation. A 24 ft caravan which was completely refurbished and also had a metal annex onto it for extra room. It had air-con, a tv, good bed and was in the shade of this beautiful tree. The gum blossom was out - we have never had so much bird life in one place ! The temperature went up to 36 on most days so we spent all our time outside in the shade. The van was in a perfect spot overlooking Roebuck Bay. We moved the dining table and chairs around to catch the breeze or shade .No flies ,mozzies or sandflies ,so it was just perfect !
We experienced very big tide variations which happen only at certain times of the year -these were spring tides with the low tide being -.15 mtr and high tide being 8.75 mtr. The mangrove tree in the photos is seen at low tide and at high tide. Pretty amazing I think.
