The view from my hotel room. The white area to the left behind the trees is the King Sound at low tide.

SJR21.d16: the split in the boab tree - VII

This boab tree has a reputation that it once held a prisoner. There has never been any written evidence to this happening. It appears that a boab in Wyndham had its reputation transposed to Derby! The tree itself has a 14.7m girth, and the black slot shows a hollow interior.

Broome

We leave Derby to head to Broome where we stay for 2 nights.

Sunset at Cable Beach

Cable Beach was named after the telegraph cable from Java which arrived in 1899. It is a popular location to drive onto the beach to watch the sunset. Or go for a camel ride.
