Broome to Singapore - Exmouth 2025

Broome

It was really good to get back to Broome. While we enjoyed Singapore, this holiday is all about Australia.

It was also quite hot in Singapore, so nice to get back to not so warm, warm weather in Broome!

Alexis camping — Friday Cheers in Alexis's backyard camping, before heading out to the Staircase to the Moon

The Cost of camping at Alexis's Camping Spot

I've always wanted to be able to put video's in our Blog and never been able to get it to work. Well with the help of my new coding friend "ChatGPT" I've worked it out, I hope. So here's our first video attempt!

There's no such thing as a free lunch

Alexis always has a list of things for us to do when we're here. So not every day is a holiday!

Taking a load of rubbish to the tip.

Tip2 — We even get Alexis doing some work, here installing backyard lights, with a watchful eye on her handywork!

We're constantly amazed at how well Alexis copes up here. She can do so many things on her house, more than we ever imagined.

This is the video. Let me know if it works, loads fast enough etc, etc.

Justin, Mel, Casper and Dash finally arrive

Before we knew it, it was time for Justin, Mel, Casper and Dash to join us in Broome.

Kids 3 — Nothing better than kids playing on the beach at Sunset

Dinosaur footprints at Gantheaume Point

The dinosaur footprints around Broome are recognised as the most significant in the world with track ways stretching for about 80km along Broome’s sandstone coast line from south of Broome up along the Dampier Peninsula. These were laid down during the early cretaceous period; some 120 million years ago. There are potentially over 20 different types of tracks: those of theropods, three toed carnivorous dinosaurs that walked on two legs; sauropods, massive, long-necked four legged herbivores and others.

The extent of Broome’s track ways emerged in the late 1980s, when local naturalists identified these and other types of tracks around Broome. They were the first to recognise the many large round impressions that occur in the Broome sandstone as sauropod tracks - the mighty Brachiosaurus, the tallest of the herbivorous sauropod family. With some prints up to 1.7m in diameter the animals would have been up to 35m in total length. It's hard to conceive a beast weighing up to 20 fully grown elephants once roaming our coastline.

Kids 4 — Getting to where the Dinosaur footprints are involves scrambling over lots of rocks

Barred Creek

One of Alexis favourite places to spend a night camping is at Barred Creek, about 40 minutes drive north of Broome.

It involves going on very narrow tracks that are guaranteed to put "pin stripes" on your car, that hopefully will polish out. But the drive is definitely worth it.

Minding the Kids

Part of our responsibilities while they were here, is minding the kids.

Nothing that bothers us too much
