BROOME

MONDAY 9 - TUESDAY 10.09.2013: Our intention had been to stay at the PCYC - very basic accommodation with one unusual stipulation, you must own a dog. Unfortunately, the PCYC closed at the end of August so we went in search and found only one other option located in Broome proper. We have been told that Broome and many other places in WA were not pet friendly and the information has been correct. Made a booking at Tarangau Caravan Park and on arrival received a detailed list of pet rules, but nothing related to the park. Slithered into our nook and then realised for the first time we had a bus to town that stopped outside our door, but of course the dogs were not to be left home alone. You feel as though you are fortunate to be allowed entrance to the park given you have four legged ferals in tow! SO, decision was made to get out and about - "let's have a lovely barbecue lunch in a park".
BROOME PORT
We set off south to Broome Port, then east to Chinatown, north to Cable Beach and finally west to Gantheaume Point. Still no barbecue or park area. Finally set ourselves up for a scenic picnic next to the racecourse!

Whilst in Broome we have had a change in dog breed. The new and improved models were sent off for a hair cut with a vet recommended cutter. We have never been ones for show cuts, BUT the puddles came back as afghans - no top knots! Not a good cut and costly. We have temporarily covered all the mirrors.
