Broome Deep Water Jetty

Broome Deep Water Jetty juts outs into Roebuck Bay. The jetty is used for cargo, fuel and commercial shipping. It is also a great place to go fishing.

Crocodile warning!

The Department of Environment and Conservation recently put this sign out at Streeters Jetty (under water due to largest tide 10.6m). A recent crocodile sighting.

Largest Tide for the Year

The other day was the largest tide for the year 10.6 metres and then the low 6 hours later of 0.5 metres. Amazing to see how much water disappears to the horizon. Here is a before shot at lunch time and one at sunset. Notice the second shot where there is a 4WD parked down on the beach on the left hand side.

That is a tide of 10.1 metres!

New 4WD finally arrives

After nearly six weeks, our new Hilux duel cab has finally arrived, it is filthy dirty but a good tub will clean it up!
Can't wait to go camping again and 4WDing.

The Adventure begins

I thought it would be best to start a blog on the adventure of moving to and living in Broome, Western Australia.
I have settled well into my new job at Cable Beach, Caroline is receiving on-job training and is getting into her new role at work. Caitlin loves daycare, and as always, has adapted the best to her new situation.
