Broome to Pender Bay, Dampier Peninsula. WA

Wednesday 23rd May 2018
Today we woke to the calls of many different birds at Broome Bird Observatory campsite. They were sooo noisy. After breakfast we went for a walk around the park to try to see some of the birdlife but we probably should have got up when they woke us up as there weren’t too many about.

We then headed on our way, unfortunately when we stopped to pump up the tyres we had another glitch. The air compressor stopped working. Oh oh! Once we sorted this mishap out we started on our way again to the Dampier Peninsula-Cape Leveque. This was a 200km corrugated dirt road. Fun Fun Fun!! Not!! But it wasn’t too bad. The entire peninsula is run by Aborigines in Aboriginal Communities.

Our first stop was at Beagle Bay to have a look at the Sacred Heart Church then on to Pender Bay Escape, a small campground where we will base ourselves for the next couple of days. It is picturesque on the cliff of Pender Bay. Absolute waterfront living and dining. It is very beautiful.
