Day 160: Turkey Creek - Broome

We covered a lot of distance today getting in to Broome just in time for the sunset. It is a very nice beach and I believe it is quite famous for these sunsets and was packed with people clicking away with their cameras, just like we were. You can drive on the beach, you just have to watch out for the camels...

With the detour to the sunset it meant that all the caravan parks where closed when it came to finding a place to sleep for the night. After many telephone calls, door knocking and apologetic rejections from caravan parks, motels and hotels, we finally got a space squeezed in between a shed with a toilet and trailers full of rubbish bins.

Everything in Broome is fully booked, of course it is school holiday time and we hadn't booked in advance. This does not bode well for the rest of our trip because I think it is going to be pretty much the same all the way down.
