Some more images from the Cape...

 spot the lighthouse...

 beach fishing doesn't get better than this...

On the road again...

The parts are installed and we are heading South. We travelled for 8 hours yesterday and made it to Exmouth.
The following photos are from Cape Leveque...

 The road to Cape Leveque; it was more vibrant than the red centre!

 Classic speed hump sign just as we drove in to the camp site! 

The drive down to the camp site before we hit the really soft sand...

Our beach shelter; lots of sand and it was so hot we could hardly walk on it in the middle of the day.  We had our own shower in the corner; forget the shower curtain!!

 Our view from inside the shelter;  BBQ plate on a swivel on top of the campfire

 Afternoon fishing on a practically deserted beach

Our visit to Cygnet Bay, 'Cygnature' Pearl Farm was really interesting.  Mother of pearl shells which are used to culture the pearls; biggest white ones in the world.  The challenge was to see if you could pick up the cage so of course Kai rose to the occasion!

All of the girls being tempted to buy the pearls; the boys suddenly went missing...(with the wallets)

Different types of shapes and colours; we were told its all about 'lustre'

 The $135 000 strand; and of course you are meant to match this with the ear rings and ring!  It was fun to try them on anyway....

 Our visit to the hatchery with barra, turtles and all sorts of marine life

 The touch tank where the kids were able to hold various creatures

 don't get too close to this one!

A sea eagle keeping Andrew company while fishing; hoping to get some of his golden travelley which we enjoyed that night on the bbq

 A storm brewing; fish on the bbq yum; lighting photos to follow

 The working light house just behind us on the cape

 Just on sunset I managed to catch a travelley

 Kids holding it proudly

 The western beach; currents too strong for swimming.  More to follow....

A couple of snaps from Broome...

We are enjoying Cable Beach. Cloe and Kai rode Ollie the 20 year old Camel. They were most pleased because he is a movie star featured in the movie "Australia".

On another matter, the parts for "Lightening"have arrived...with some help from our mechanical friends we should be back on the road as early as tomorrow.

What has been quite amazing are the vivid colours of Broome. Only to be surpassed by the colours of Cape Leveque...our next blog...

A Birthday in Broome...

Thanks to Azman the mechanic in Fitzroy Crossing who towed us to Broome, we were able to celebrate a wonderful 8th Birthday. Thanks Azman. parts still haven't arrived...
