After breakfast I walk up to the viewing platform near the bay, Low tide again. The tides should start working in our favour next week.

Day 78 – Eighty Mile Beach to Port Hedland
Up and breakfast, we decide to go for a walk back on the beach. The kids decide they don’t want to.

We leave Broome around 10, today will be a fair bit of driving, Port Hedland is about 615km, and really the only thing between the two is a caravan park at Eighty Mile beach, it is about 350 odd km.

Broome – Not much happening today. We start packing and tidying up. A quick round of mini golf over at the general store (note, we are all crap at it). More swimming, then we get ready to pick Darren up at the airport. The kids really missed him, they are excited to see him (me too).

Day 75 – Broome – Willie Creek Pearl Farm tour
As Darren is away for a few days, the kids & I vote on what to do – the pearl farm tour comes up on top (surprisingly, the kids voted for that over the croc park – you never can tell what they will want).

I’ve got a 3pm flight to Perth then the redeye back to Sydney. I should get up to Newcastle around lunchtime tomorrow (Sunday).
Justine drops me off at the airport.

Over to the visitor’s centre, but most things are closed for the season or are overpriced for what they offer. I do however pick up some guides for regions we will be visiting over the next few weeks so this will help our planning.
Day 71 – Broome –
Up early and get the car over to the local Isuzu dealer for it’s 30k service. They indicated if I got it there earlier they would get it ready sooner. After waiting an hour to be driven back to the van park and seeing the car hasn’t moved yet, let’s just say I’m not holding my breath.

It’s still 220km to Broome. 40km back to the highway, then onto Broome. For the last three days, other than the odd roadhouse to get fuel, there is nothing out here. You can see some roads leading to cattle stations, but there is not much else.
