Broome

I am heading off tomorrow after six days in Broome, and this morning I bought a few supplies and then went to the laundromat to do my washing only to find that it is closed on Sundays.  It opens early during the week so I will have go their before I leave tomorrow.

It is quite close to the doggie beach where I am staying, so I have been taking Oscar for a walk most days.  You can certainly tell you are in the tropics when you walk along the footpath and smell the perfume of the frangipanis which are in flower at the moment.  I love all the colourful tropical plants.  There are also lots of palm trees and quite a few bottle trees in peoples front yards.

I went for a wander along Streeter's Jetty which was used by the pearling fleets back in the 1920's.  A good portion of it has fallen down, but the remaining jetty is now heritage listed and currently being restored.  I also went for a drive to see the main port jetty which is where the cruise ships come in, but it is off limits to the public.
