Day 67: Broome to De Grey River Rest Area
Today we left Broome for the last time, heading south along the West Australian coast. We drove 540km passing:
- a very large herd of cattle (1000+)
- fields covered in purple mulla mulla
- several brula birds along the side of the road out of Broome
- a road train that was carrying a big mining dump truck
- some pretty funky roadhouses at Sandfire and Pardoo
- a nice lunch spot at Stanley Rest Area
- and our first sunset in ages that had clouds
All before pulling into the De Grey River Rest Area just before sunset. This was another great free camp along the river, with lots of space for all the caravans to spread out. Only complaint about this site was the overwhelming number of little bugs that kept getting through our fly screens tonight. The only way we were able to combat them was to have all the lights off (even John gave up trying to fight them and went to sleep early).
