Started the day with muesli breakfast prepared in the communal kitchen at Beaches of Broome. Topped it with yogurt,washed it down with green tea and finished it off with some rum 'n raisin dark chocolate...Cadbury's of course.
We then visited the Buddha Sanctuary, just a short walk from our accommodation, a tranquil spot that is open to the public and a place where yoga can be freely practised.
The Buddha statue is hand carved from Philippine crystal and stands three and a half metres tall.

Cable Beach - almost high tide.
Couldn't resist a walk to Cable Beach.

The temperature was already climbing and Andrew and I lazed in the shade atop the hill overlooking the beach before dipping our feet into the pristine waters then headed back to our room.
Next we took a drive out to a place called Twelve Mile to do some mango product sampling and to have a light lunch. The Mango Place makes mango wine, port, chutneys and vinegars as well as rosella (the flower that is) products. The rosella port is especially luscious.
While we were in the area we took a drive to Roebuck Bay.
The corrugated dirt road is an amazing colour of red. Out here in the Kimberley it is called Pindan.
Roebuck Bay, especially, is saturated with colour. The sky, the Indian Ocean, the sand.
The beach was alive with hermit crabs creeping towards the ocean in the hot afternoon sun.
In Broome, expect the unexpected...as we stood with the dramatic landscape before us, an airliner suddenly appeared on the horizon and swept over the Pindan cliffs, with the jade coloured ocean to the side and came in to land at Broome Airport, which is right in the centre of the town.

As we returned to the car, I could see a tug in the distance, in the town's deepsea port spouting water....expect the unexpected.
Hermit crab tracks in the red sand of Roebuck Bay.
Fish and chips for tea, a drive back into town to watch Bran Nue Dae at the
"World's Oldest Operating Picture Gardens".
Here we were seated under the stars and a new moon in deck chairs plied with cushions and pillows brought from home.
The airline flight path is straight over the top of the outdoor screen, (only one plane flew over thank God), and large birds frequently strayed across the front of the screen. If you have seen the movie Bran Nue Dae you will know that it's about a family from Broome...if you mountain people ever saw Sirens, you will understand what it's like to watch a movie about a town that you live in (or are visiting)...hilarious!
