From our point of view calling Broome a big city is a bold statement. If you have travelled in the center and the north west of Australia for a while it definitly is. That is somehow the slight change of perception that happens to everyone after a while of travelling in Australia. Broome seems big enough to drive around for longer than five minutes and even big enough to drive around and get lost (well sort of… after driving another five minutes you end up some place you know )

We enjoyed strolling the mall only with a short interruption for a cappu in a nice little café.

We noticed how damp the air here in Broome is – quite a contrast to the rather dry places where we have been  before. We were sweating even more than on the days in the desert with the only difference that it doesn’t help here. The sweat does not vaporize any more and so we wait for the cooling effect in vain.

Broome has a lot more to see and do than for example Derby. There even is a museum which is open for full three hours a day. Unfortunatly we arrive about five minutes before closing time which means: No museum for us, instead we get another Cappucchino this time with view to the sea.
