Heaps of cars drive onto the sand just before the sunset

Two Jerks pondering.




Sunset.

Only 400kms today to Broome, Stopped at Willare Bridge Road house for lunch, Just a small place. Not much happened today as everyone wanted to get to Broome for a well earned rest.Staying at Mangrove Beach Resort, Bloody luxury I can tell you.
Washed Van today and did some laundry. that red dust gets everywhere and keeps coming back. went to Cable beach for the sunset, pretty spectacular.Another rest day tomorrow (Sunday)and then on Monday we have a 613km to Port Headland followed by a 870km day to Carnarvon. That will be a Long day for the riders and support crew alike, as we have another roadside refuelling stop.If the weather is cool it will be ok, but a scorcher could be a real headache for all.

Started this day with a mass rideout for the cameras and had a plan to visit Geikie Gorge 20km out of FC but overnight rain had made the low level crossing impassable even for the Adventure Twins. See Adam checking the flow of the water. The water comes and goes real quick up here.
Only a 400 km ride today so we could take time for photos - more boabs! Temps were in the mid 30's, I'm becoming accustomed to the heat. Our intercoms are on the blink so I have pulled out the Ipod and Dickos ears are having a rest. Hopefully we can get them working before our 870km day.

Two days in Broome relaxing, a bit of retail therapy & as many good double shot skinny flat whites as I can stock up on as real coffee is pretty scarce out here!
Took the double decker bus tour around Broome on friday afternoon, got the low down on local history.
We have taken some great sunset shots on Cable Beach and tonight had dinner at the Sunset Bar & Grill. Having an early night as we have a 5.30am start tomorrow. Donna
