Our Trip to The Kimberley



Last night Pete and I arrived in Broome....and of course this morning we walked to Cable Beach. What an unbelievably beautiful beach....I hadn't seen it before.





After a delicious breakfast we headed back to our chalet at the camp grounds. On the air conditioner in the chalet next to us was quietly sitting a Tawny Frogmouth owl (thanks Google lens).


This is Derby, our first stop after picking up our little camper van. It is also the start of the Gibb River Road. Derby has Australia's highest tidal variations and one of the highest in the world.



Birdwood Downs Station...where we were to spend the night. 
 

Our little van !


Our chosen spot in the camp grounds....near a Boab tree...


So many pawpaws...my favourite fruit.


....and bananas...


A common but also pretty flower here....it is wonderful to see flowers that you have never seen before.


Chooks and peacocks visited our van, hoping for some crumbs.


What a great start we had to our holiday.
