Fitzroy Crossing to Broome – via Derby – 460km and a Lazy Day off in Broome

There was a great incentive to get to Broome, a day off the road and a day day of relief from the heat and humidity.

Some of these roads are becoming quite tedious, maximum concentration is required at all times as you never know when a flock of birds will fly into you or some stray cattle will become an instant obstacle, keeping hydrated is extremely important to maintain concentration.

A fuel stop at Wallare Bridge, pretty much in the middle of nowhere, yielded some more donations.

This road is very busy with road trains, and Boabab trees are everywhere to be seen.

The Famous Prison Tree

Baobabs are indeed a major part of this region, some were even used as a prison and some streets are lined with them.

Another milestone, the bike just turned over 10,000km.

As it was a short run today, we popped into Derby for a Quick look.

As we approached Broome the weather started to close in and the temperature was dropping fast.

The day off in Broome, ended up being very uneventful, not even the Camels were working, it just rained, very heavily, all day. however we managed to have a BBQ, at least it was a good excuse to just rest.
