Kimberley trip 2015 - dinosaur footprints and a light house

For the last day in Broome we decided to go and visit the lighthouse and the dinosaur footprints. They are only about 5km out of town towards the port. The views are amazing and the water just so blue! We managed to get a lovely family photo taken on the rocks. Sam loved it there and even though we didn't get to see the real footprints the cast prints were just as fun.

We then went for a drive out to the port to have a look. A cruise ship was in dock and it looked pretty impressive. Then we went and did a little bit more shopping for last minute things.

We got back to the campsite and packed up stuff for leaving the next day. Then got together some cheese and crackers etc for the last night watching the sunset on cable beach. We went down a little earlier so Sam could have a swim.

I really enjoyed our time in Broome and Cable Beach. I would come back again. Next time I would like to head up to Cape Leveque and free camp on the cliff edge/beach. Or maybe we will just sail here one day!

Kimberley trip 2015 - the world's oldest operating outdoor movie theatre

We had a real chill out day after the second day being washing and grocery shopping. We had bacon eggs and mushrooms for breakfast. The boys had morning showers and we all went into the Broome Saturday markets. We then went to a free range butcher who vacuum packs meat to pick up supplies for the trip into the Gibb.

Got back to uncle Frew waiting to take Sam for a swim in the pool. It was freezing! Colder than the beach! We then just chilled out and made our way back into town to go and see inside out pin the oldest operating outdoor theatre in the world. We had been told we could take our own dinner so we were originally going to get fish and chips, but when we went to the fish and chip shop it was ridiculously expensive! $10.50 for 1 piece of fish!  So we got pizza instead.

It was a great experience watching they big screen on sun chairs with a big patch of lawn in front to lay down on if wanted, the chairs were uncomfortable after a while, I would recommend taking pillows and a blanket.

Today we are going to go to the light house and check out the dinosaur footprints. Prob won't be able to see the actual foot prints as you have to be there at low tide and low tide was early in the morning before sunrise and in the evening after sunset.
