On our last night in Broome Craig went solo to the Ice House concert at Cable Beach. He enjoying sitting under the stars listening to all the Ice House classics.
The next day we decided that we'd go to Cape Leveque seeing as we missed it on our last trip. We took our camper and although the track was quite corrugated we made it to Middle Lagoon with little trouble. When we got there we went for a bit of frisbee throwing and swimming in the clear waters that backed onto our campsite. The kids soon got out though as they had been stung by something in the water that they thought may have been jelly fish.
We met a family from Derby, who camped there every year, and we played a bit of beach cricket with them.
We took a drive up to the top of Cape Leveque and after paying
$5 per person we were allowed to explore the beaches of Kooljamon.
On the way back we visited the Whalesong Cafe where we marvelled at the changing colours of the ocean while enjoying coffee and cake from the deck.
That night it started to rain slightly and as we had heard it was pouring down in Broome. We decided we should head back from Cape Leveque the next morning in case it rained heavily and the road became impassable.
The trip back was very hairy as the rain set in...before long we were driving through a "river". There was many a time where I thought we might get bogged although Craig did exceptionally well and we made it to the end of the 130km dirt road. Here we encountered two other Canberra cars, which had also drove the in the crazy conditions, and we came to the conclusion that us Canberra people must be the only ones silly enough to attempt this drive.
We eventually got back to Broome and we heard that the Cape Leveque road had been closed about 30 minutes before we got back. Thank goodness we made it or we would have been stuck at the Cape for about 5 nights.
Craig and Adam went to the Divers tavern that night to sample their famous lamb ribs and watch the State of Origin. They were the only New South Wales supporters in the room and they were very happy as New South Wales won that game.
It poured all night and the camper got soaked so we spent the next day washing and drying almost everything we owned.
