DAY MINUS 14 – ON THE ROAD

Unfortunately this is not our camp site.

We had a leisurely start to the day and, as the photo shows, we spent some time on Cable Beach. Notwithstanding that the sign on the beach said there hasn’t been an irukandji sting since May 2012, we didn’t venture into the very inviting water. Apparently Broome has the highest incidence of irukandji stings in Australia.

Today was another travelling day in that we are covering the same ground we covered when we had our Kimberley trip several years ago so we are just passing through. There is one exception to that in that, tomorrow night, we plan to revisit El Questro, a very smart resort in a very picturesque area at the eastern end of the Gibb River Road, to celebrate our 40^th wedding anniversary.

We are now at Halls Creek. Last time we came through here, we were told not to stay in town because of some aboriginal unrest but all seems peaceful tonight.

Notice how the car seems to have acquired a reddish tinge.
