Cape Leveque - Broome

Up early Saturday to have look around,into another Community,arrived at Ardaloon to find office closed we wanted to pay fee to enter,off to local store lady there told us we could pay at the Barramundi Hatchery down the road,so off we go again arrived at Hatchery only to find "Closed today Mate" come back Mundy!Yeah!! As if,that will happen we are leaving Sunday,not a good start.
Beach at Cape Leveque
We went to Cygnet Bay Pearl Farm on way back from One Arm Point,we did tour here and learnt some of history on growing pearls from shells that are gathered offshore near Eighty Mile Beach south of Broome,have nucleus planted into shell,placed in holders then into water allowed to grow then harvested,sorted and sold.We saw some amazing pearl jewellry here and in stores in Broome.
Pristine waters at Cygnet Bay Pearl Farm
Back to camp for lunch,'cruiser has a few rattles under,spent a little time there tightening bits and pieces (Pete maaate thats what happens here when you have OFFROAD model LOL)
Sunsets here are truly something to see
As the sun sinks into the sea,we have another drink before Dinner
Met lovely people here from all walks of life,camping is a great leveller,most of them get on as we are all out here just living the Life (You do meet some that are #@&!heads and are better than the rest).
Need new airbed soon the one we have leaves us on the ground most of night,guess we all have had one like that.
Left here Sunday a bit disappointed with area,may have had higher expectations,not sure but we gladly headed back to Broome.
