We decided to change our itinerary. After Derby we were going to start to make our way back, but instead we have decided to go on to Broome and then spend a couple of days up at Cape Leveque. Rod and I have been to Cape Leveque before, and it is a place we have always wanted to return to, so seeing we were so close (only about 300kms away – which is close after all the miles we have travelled) we decided to deviate and forsake our trip to Wolf Creek in liew of Cape Leveque -(which isn’t half as scary!) so after the day out at Horizontal Falls, we made our way to Broome to restock and for a little bit of retail therapy (hey, had to fit that in to the road trip somewhere!)

We took the road to Cape Leveque (which was a little scary) and made our way to Gynlmarung Aboriginal Community where we set up camp for the next 2 nights. Alphonse, the owner of the land where we camped, made us very welcome. It is certainly an idyllic place. The beach here is beautiful and I couldn’t stop taking photographs, I have included a selection here, but it was hard to choose which ones to put on the blog out of the 100 or so I took – just of the beach! Guilluame and I spent a couple of hours pottering around the rockpools taking photographs and came across quite a few interesting creatures. Back at camp there was also an interesting creature, a huge red belly black rubber snake called ‘Hamish’ that Matt thought was a good addition to our camp!!! There were a few choice words in camp that night! Besides the ‘Hamish incident’ – It is so peaceful here and extremely isolated, it will be so hard to leave. We took a drive up to Cape Leveque which was the turnaround point for our trip – we are halfway there and now will slowly make our way back home. So far we have travelled about 6,300 kms.
