After a weekend of exploring Broome and spending some time catching up with our cousins Elisabeth, Clint their son Curtis and daughter Michaela we packed some camping gear and headed north to the Dampier Peninsula. We couldn't head up the coast due to bush fires so we planned our first night at Middle Lagoon.
 |
| We first travelled along 90 km of unsealed road and 30 km of bitumen, Next we headed west along a 33 km stretch of sandy track. It reminded us of middle track on Moreton Island. |
 |
| For the same cost as an unpowered site we decided to take the beach shack. |
 |
| Wasn't going to take the car onto the sand until.... |
 |
| Our view. |
 |
| Basic dinner by head light. |
 |
| Sunset Middle Lagoon Style |
After a night at Middle Lagoon we headed up to Cape Leveque.
 |
| The kids were very excited about sleeping in their own Dome Tent. |
 |
| Another swim in beautiful water. |
We were ready to head back to Broome after a visit to One Arm Point and Cygnet Bay Pearl Farm but..... we couldn't pass up a Sunset Cruise that included dinner.
 |
| The Amphibius Craft took us from the Reception, along the road to the mud flats, across the flats to the water and straight on to the water where the Catamaran was some 500m off shore. On the way home it took us from the boat straight to our cars. All without getting our feet wet! A sensational start and finish to the cruise. |
 |
| Chloe and Jodie taking it all in. |
 |
| The whole family dreaming this was ours. |
 |
Getting the feet wet.
The best sunset so far....Ian reckons
On the third night we finally used our own Mossie Dome tent. We stayed on an Aboriginal property that was owned by a man called Unja. It turns out that Clint ( Our cousin ) knows him well and worked with Unja....a small world.
|
 |
| Our camp site night three at One Arm Point on the Dampier Peninsular. |
 |
Jodie walking out in the crystal clear water.
Unja told us that he walks out in this area during low tide and simply picks up the Mud crabs. |
