Broome

Friday 7th
The tec ice is working well. 3 sheets moved every day from the freezer to the ice box esky that has our fruit and veg.  We haven't used the shower yet as we have been swimming if we are not in a caravan park. We will use things that are in the caravan before we get anything off the top of the car, just because it is easier. The solar panels, generator and battery charger are working well keeping all our electronic devices and freezer/fridge system going. The kids being able to watch a movie in the car has been great when we have had to push on a bit and there is just more spinafix to look at. The fishing rods need to be used though, especially when we keep seeing pictures of these huge fishing that can be caught.
Tim worked on the lights wiring and also talked to a couple that had just been to Broome. They must have got similar weather to us in Pt Hedland , just more rain. They said a lot of dirt roads are closed , including quite a few to caravan parks. I rang and was able to get into Roebuck caravan park and Tim needed to be near shops to finish his repairs, so we made the decision to keep going.

As we are not allowed to pull leaves off plants and they die anyway, we are taking photos of those that the kids like. Zane felt this plant and said it was really soft. It is a big contrast to most of the others that are prickly.
So on the road again. As we drove across the Roebuck plains it was water as far as you could see. There was cattle still walking through it and it just looked boggy.
Coming into Broome the trees got a little bigger and the grasses taller. Mangroves. Then through the town the tropical plants, palms and a lot of coconut trees. The caravan park is in a jungle with the view of blue/green water. I love walking through just looking at these plants.
The shops were open late so I decided to go shopping with Baylee and Kimberly while the others went to bed. We nearly had Woolworths to ourselves!
