Dampier Peninsula - Broome




We had a better nights sleep but were still awake early with the sun beating in. After breakfast we packed the car and the kids went down to the beach for some more hermit crab action -it was high tide so there weren't many to be found. We had a smoothie at the cafe and then went out on a boat tour around Cygnet Bay. The water is an amazing emerald colour. We saw a couple of turtles and a school of tuna. We were taken out to the pearling lines where the boats with the skipper and two deck hands were busy hauling in the oyster shell racks and cleaning them. We stopped at a small island (actually Tilly, our tour guide ran us up onto the rocks) and had a swim in the safety of the shallows. The tide was running fast. We headed back to Broome deciding to give Middle Lagoon a miss because we were short on time and fuel. We got back to the caravan park around 4 and Rick took the kids for a swim in the pool while I unpacked.
