135 million years ago, give or take, dinosaurs were the locals here. There are several footprint marks in the rock at Gantheaume Point which can only be seen at low tide. So we went at low tide!
As it was early, the sun made the rocks around the point light up.
We also saw an old pearl lugger boat, and learnt some of the history of the industry. Did you think Harry wouldn’t ask for a photo like this?
Broome is old, and it’s new. It’s hot by 8am, and the dew overnight will soak your washing. It’s crowded with travellers, backpackers, package holiday people and it’s the hub for Kimberley tourism. It’s a refuel at the start or the end of the Gibb River Road trek.
It would be nice to visit another time when it’s not so busy, because it really is beautiful.
