23rd August
Greetings from Broome - again but by choice.  we have had almost 2 weeks at Quondong point which was just a lovely place and couldnt move ourselves- also decided to stay there to time it for us to come back to Broome for staircase to heaven when the moon rise co-incides with low tide - a wonderful site.  the weather is certainly warm and have had some windy days which may become the reality at this time of year as we head down the coast- they say its called WA meaning windy australia !

Some pics which are slightly out of order
1. A whale that Clive saw as it became stranded on rocks near where our campsite was.  it was clearly distressed as it came towards the rocks and made a valiant effort to try to get out again but sadly didnt make it.  within a day or so there were sharks having a great feed but after a few more days even they werent around - it wasnt too savoury = fortunately we were far enough away for it not to be noticeable.  Apparently it would have been not possible to access where it was to get it back to see.  a number of sightseers each day asking us for directions.

2. Staircase to the moon. this happens each month for about 7 months at Roebuck Bay at Broome.  it particularly happens at this spot as at low tide the mudflats create a reflection which creates the staircase effect.

Better go
love to everyone
Clive and Marian
