Broome

Well here in Broome its nice and relaxing......well it would be relaxing if you didn't have the caravan beside you 2 metres away! Yes here at the Cable Beach Caravan park our fellow travelers can pretty much here us breath!
Anyway when we did that other scenic flight, i guess mum wasn't scared enough because guess what, we got up at 5:05 AGAIN and went on a 1 hour flight to the Horizontal Falls!
(Again  would like to put up photos but i cant so just imagine me and the girls laughing our heads off and mum screaming!)
   But the have the best cooks in town,I had 1 bowl of cereal, 2 cups of juice and a bacon and egg roll!
The Horizontal falls are really amazing and i recommend it to anyone.
The Horizontal Falls are made by two lagoons how have very small openings out to the ocean. As the the tide goes out to the ocean, the water is trapped in these lakes and must get out through the small openings, causing rapids at these two openings. The lake water level is higher, by about 1.5 metres then the sea level at this time.
Our friends the Riddells are doing the 11:30 one, but we did the 5:30 one.
Missing everyone lots and can't wait to get back (well actually i could but......)

  1. Great explanation of the horizontal falls Cooper. I actually had googled it and your description was pretty much 'on the mark'. Some local news now-- Matty Primus has quit Port Power's coaching position after their pathetic performance against the GWS Giants last week. The Crows clawed their way back to beat Essendon by 4 points--yehh!!!They are 2nd on the Ladder just under Sydney.
    Gave your blog address to Mrs Richter and Mrs Cicich today so that's 2 more teachers checking it out!!
    I am still waiting for a postcard from Quinn- I hope one arrives soon. Love to you all xxx nan and pop

  2. HI Guys
    Sounds like your having a great time. Lots of little aeroplane flights, Mum will be getting better at it by now. It is soooooo cold here,so make the most of all that summer. I would love to see the horizontal falls I hope you have taken lots of photos for me. We have a map up in the office and are following you on it each day. With neighbours that close you must be making lots of new friends. A kindle that sounds great, you can read on those long hours of travelling. We had a little bit of rain last night, but it is just cold again today. I think that your about half way now so think of it as heading home again now. Almost everyone we see asks us how you are.
    Travel Safe Love Grandma and Auntie Annette
