We have had an awesome time in the Broome area. The beaches have been awesome, the camping great. But it has come time to move on. We managed to get 130ks south this afternoon, so it's a good start

More mooching around enjoying the beach, sand and sun. Went for a drive to collect some more fire wood and followed a few tracks around exploring. Back to the cliff top camp for the night.

Crashed our way up 100km of busy rough sandy corrugated road towards Cape Leveque. Magically at the 112k mark, it changed into a two lane high way with 160ks still to go!! Needless to say, we had a

Ventured up the coast as far as we dared. Made it to Coulomb Point, but the beach access was tricky and required driving through a short section of salt lagoon. Not an option. Headed up the track

Headed up the coast from Broome, followed a track along the back of the sand dunes and came across a spot up on a little cliff above the sea. No shade, but a nice cool breeze, so might stay here for

Day two on the Tanami complete. The road improved a lot, they had recently been out with the graders so it was good going. We were able to sit at about 75km /h most of the time. Didn't quite make the

Bit of a late start, it was freezing last night so eggs on toast for breakfast:) Filled up the tanks, and the jerry cans and hit the road. So far the Tanami has been very rough. Could be a slow
