After leaving Karijini NP we headed north and called into Port Hedland. It is a huge shipping port and we got to see a couple of huge ships loading iron ore for the trip over to China.
We stopped overnight at a camping ground in Cape Keraudren, however it was pitch black when we got there, so had no idea how nice it was until we woke up the next day. Lot's of sand flies, so we all had some itchy bites to deal with!

Cape Keraudren has a 6 metre tide which was coming in when we left the next morning, and apparently the rock island in front of the camp site goes underwater with a king tide.
We stopped in at Sandfire Roadhouse for some petrol and a snack. There were peacocks and peahens roaming around, and out the back they had a camel and a huge bull.
Arrived at Cable beach Caravan park and spent the afternoon in the pool.

| Site at Cable Beach Caravan park was right next to the pool... perfect! |
We tried to see "Stairway to the Moon" on 2 occasions, however we were rained out the first night and there was too much cloud cover for us to see anything on the second night. We were lucky enough to be in town when it was possible to see, however the weather was not kind to us!
A must see in Broome is the "Malcolm Douglas Wilderness Park". It's only open from 2pm - 5pm, and they do a crocodile feeding tour at 3pm. It was great!

| One of the staff told us this kangaroo goes nuts when the public come in at 2pm... he was thumping his chest and wanted to have a box! |
The next morning was a low tide so we were able to see the dinosaur footprints in the rocks of Gantheaume Point. These date back 120 million years.

| Sue missed out on seeing Natures Window in Kalbarri, however she found another one in Broome! |
Drove up to Cape Leveque and made the decision not to take the caravan. The road up was a shocker so whilst we didn't get to stay in the beach side shelter, we were able to stay in one of the cabins. it was hot and humid, not the best conditions for a big man who sweat a lot, so we had a swim before jumping back in the car to do some of the sights...

On the way up to Cape Leveque we saw our first wild donkey, and we had a pet frog in out toilet!
Once back in Broome we went to Matso's for a cold Mango beer - very nice.
