September in Broome and beyond

Hi,

I am getting along with the blog. This is September, we stayed in Broome till the 9th waiting for Credit Cards to arrive. But we had a great time with Karen and David doing lots of stuff. We had a picnic at James Price Point, lots of bird life and incoming tide.

 On our way back we stopped of at Willy Creek Pearls for coffee (ho hum) but always interesting to view the pearls and the drive across the mud flats is fun. On returning we had happy hour on Cable Beach with Peter and Sandra plus friends of theres. It was quite a busy day.

The four of us also took the Hoover Craft tour around Robuck Bay to the dinosaur footprints at low tide. This I would do again, lots of fun, the dinosaur prints are quite different to others we have seen. Also had coffee with Dianne and Allan Telfar in the afternoon which was nice to be able to catch up with them whilst they were in Broome.

 From York we headed into Perth via the caravan repairers, to have the gas heater look at. Whilst in Perth we had lunch with Shirley and Brian and Micheal and Loraine, as well as dinner with Mike and Ang. From Perth we went south to Mandurah to visit with Sue and Vic, and a big surprise we had dinner with Lucy and Brian, we haven't ween them in about 3 years, so nice to meet up with friends. From there we went to Manjimup to see the Mottram's, went to visit with Bev and then with her and Phyll we went out to the farm for afternoon tea with David. It was a lovely day.
