Bill and I started the day with a walk along one of the beautiful beaches at Cape Leveque, then the worst coffee of the trip so far from the restaurant at Kooljaman. Neither of us managed even half of it before both of them went in to the bin. Packing up camp was followed by some perusing and purchasing of gift shop items, and then the drive to Broome. We are staying at one of the caravan parks for 4 nights. It is school holidays on top of peak tourist season, so the place is pretty busy. Bill and I headed out for supplies and then it was off to Cable Beach to watch the sunset. We were running a bit late and couldn’t quite figure out amongst the hoardes of people and cars how to access the road down on to the beach. So we walked down to the main swimming area with chairs and the required drinks and snacks. I made the mistake of feeding a seagull, after which a number of them came from I don’t know where. How do they know when one of their brethren have found a sucker of a human who feeds them perfectly good chips, or in our case, twisties? They were so cheeky that they would take the twisties out of Bill’s fingers. The sunset was extraordinary. The best part of it was about 10-15 minutes after the sun had gone down. The colours were like nothing I’ve ever seen. It looked like the sky was on fire.

Look at those colours!
