Heading for Broome.

On Sunday Morning Sandy, John , Tez and I headed off toward Broome.
Carol still resting after hurting her back.
The Heat was starting to get to Tez, Plus me, I must admit.38 to 42 is up there, also the humidity is the thing that is hard to cope with, we seem to be in the pool quite allot. and you did`t want to walk.
Plus Sandy and John Have a Silver Wedding Anniversary coming up and they have booked to go to Cape Leveque. 217ks north of Broome, They want to watch out, we may just crash their [HONEYMOON]
It looks AMAZING.
We stayed at an over night free stay at Spring Creek That was good.
The next Day we stayed at another over night free stay at Mary Pool That was lovely On the Mary River.
There were cattle from the The Mary River Station., that we photographed.
The next  day we arrived in Fitzroy Crossing stayed at a caravan park for two nights, so we could go to Geikie Gorge River Cruise.We did that on Tuesday morning, and enjoyed it very much.
We were on a boat that held 54 passengers and there were 48, from all over the world, on tours APT.
Germans, English,  Australians, and Americans.
The Guide was a Japorigini. That is what he called himself. His Dad was Japanese and his Mum was Aboriginal.
A very well  informed and funny young man.
Glad we did the 8am cruise by 9am it was very hot already.
Left for Derby on Thursday, On our way we saw a muster, Sandy and I were out of those cars like a flash, we have been looking since we left Daley's Waters and were very excited, but would have liked a bit more dust and movement to photograph. Never mind we still got photos this time.
We are staying in the Kimberley Caravan Park. Derby.
Ian the man who owns it is a great guy, he has given us traps to catch the crabs with, as the ones Tez has brought from home, are illegal in W.A.
Here in the Park also is a very rare Peacock it is white. But very beautiful.
Since being in Derby, we have all been on different  scenic tours.
We had intended to go on flights but had been told they had all been cancelled. When we arrived in Derby and found they were still available, we were very pleased, and even more pleased with the price.
Tez and I went on a flight, from Derby over part of the Kimberley to The Horizontal Falls, In Talbot Bay
The  Thousand Islands in The Buccaneer Archipelago, To Koolan Island , Cockatoo Island , Where they mine the Ore Then on to afternoon tea at  Kooljaman The multi award winning Aboriginal owned  wilderness  camp at Cape Leveque. Where we also got to wander for an other hour before heading back to Derby through King Sound.
Oh my God , it was a day we will not forget for a long time.
It was  fantastic.
 As Tez Is not able to do off road driving very much this was just what the doctor ordered.So we didn`t have to go on Sandy and Johns Honeymoon Ha !Ha!
Today Sandy and John Got up early and went on there flight to the Horizontal Falls and some of the Islands
and loved it,also.
Then we all headed to the Jetty to catch Mud Crabs. We caught 12 but were only able to keep 3.
Headed home for lunch and cook our catch.
Tomorrow we leave for Broome.
This Holiday is A M A Z I N G .
