We are back on the west coast again but this time in Broome. It's a nice town with the fantastic 10km long Cable Beach alongside it. Looking for a parking spot on Cable Beach |

It's the first time we have been able to safely swim in the sea since leaving the Sunshine Coast a few months ago. You can drive along the beach when the tide is right and find a quiet spot. It gets a bit busy by late afternoon when people are leaving to go back to their accommodation while others are arriving to watch the spectacular sunsets. Waiting for sunset on Cable Beach |

We met Brian and Kaye who we had last seen at Lake Argyle, they introduced us to 'Sundowners'; its what you do on Cable Beach at sunset. The navigator didn't seem to need much of an introduction though! Sundowners |

We spent a day driving up a coastal track to Manari where a reef is exposed at low water. The reef itself wasn't all that good but the beaches were great and with a warm wind blowing, ideal for a bit of kite flying. Coulomb Point |

| A bit further south of Manari was Quondong Point where the red desert sands meet the Indian Ocean. |  |
