We managed to get up really early today and were leaving Barn Hill station before 8am in the morning. We could have easily stayed a few more days (or even weeks) at this pretty spot on the West Coast but we are booked into Cable Beach Caravan Park today.
Barn Hill is one of those places where we drive away making a mental note that we have to come back to stay for a few weeks at some stage in the future and bring a little tinny with us.
The temperature in the morning was quite warm so we were happy to be packed up early and on the road to Broome. As we arrived in Broome just after 10am the temperature gauge read 30°C and we were told that the famous Broome market was on until 1pm. So we parked the Caravan, set up the bare essentials and headed straight to the market where we encountered a real mixture of people and products from many nations. There is a large proportion of Hippies selling their wares and waiting for the 60's to return. The best food we encountered was frozen Mango, Coconut and Banana pushed through a mincer - what a taste sensation.
After the market we went to the visitors centre and got brochures on the local attractions before exploring the town and seeking out the Supermarket and cheapest fuel - we have found differences of up to 15 cents in some towns.
When we returned to the caravan park we had Ron and Vicki (our travelling companions) come around for a visit as they are staying in a different Caravan Park this time.
Then it was time to hit the swimming pool at the caravan park - it's a great pool with a waterfall feature (see picture) and surrounded by palm trees. I think we can manage our 10 day stay at this caravan park.
