and then we headed on into Broome in the late afternoon. In the holiday season the camping grounds of Broome are not sufficient to accommodate the number of travellers and so the council therefore permit other organisations to open their doors to campers for a short period during the peak. These are the 'overflow' campgrounds of Broome. Sue and Graeme Inglis had recommended the Pistol Club to us and so that's where we first headed. We had promised the kids a few things for this evening, one of them being a powered site, and the Pistol Club had none of those for this evening, although they could do it tomorrow. Well, I'm glad, because I'm feeling quite elated about where we have ended up! I think the elation also stems from the fact that the last few days, while spectacular, have also been tiring and we can now set ourselves up for a few days, recover and regroup, but also, our campspot is delightful! Since moving to Fox Valley some of the dearest people we have got to know are SDAs, and I've done some fabulous (vego!) cooking courses up at the San, so in a way it feels familiar here at the SDA Overflow Campground. The amenities are the freshest I have ever seen in a campground, complete with little 'toilet' and 'bathroom' plaques on each of the WCs and shower cubicles!:
The temperature is perfect and I love our private little 'courtyard' outside the van. We have spot 13, so if anyone is coming, request that spot because its the best in the place! The other two promises to the kids (they have been doing a lot of walking with us lately....) were what we would eat for dinner: pumpkin spaghetti, they love that, so I got that made, and the final promise was that we would watch 'Madagascar' together. Well, we were able to come good on that promise as well. Here is our outdoor viewing in our little private (red-dust-free) paradise:
Looking forward to what Broome has to offer and to spending a little bit of time relaxing here. We are booked in for 4 nights to start.
