Day 56: Roebuck to Broome

I got up early this morning to meet a fellow Antarctic seabird team member who happened to be in Broome the same time as us. Ben and I caught up while walking along the mangroves near Chinatown. Then I had to race back to camp to help pack up so that we could move to the Broome Caravan Park for the next three nights.

As we have been on the move for almost two months now we were all getting a bit tired, so our plan for our time in Broome was to do not much. This first full day was spent doing hundreds of loads of washing (again!), going for a swim in the pool, and then heading to Cable Beach to watch the sunset.

Once the kids were in bed I again headed out to see if I could catch the last night of the Staircase to the Moon. The moon did not rise until 8:30pm and there was no market on, so it was pretty quiet at Town Pier. This time I headed out to the end of the pier and waited, and waited. It was a slightly better night as there were fewer clouds, but it was a bit hazy due to the humidity. Again really cool to see, even for the second time.
