I stayed at Beaches of Broome, an up-market backpackers, in a private room. The big plus is the location: very close to Cable Beach. The drawback this year has been the other clientele: a big group of (I think) Indonesians who take over the kitchen every night at 6.00 pm . They all have their own personal rice cooker, labelled with their name, and spend a long time preparing the accompanying dishes, frying and boiling up stuff for ages, so that no-one else can get a look in. I’m assuming that they are working somewhere in Broome for the season. This morning, Sunday, was obviously their day off. Two of the girls were all dressed up and were collected by a minibus labelled Diocese of Broome: a free ride to Church!

Walking through the grounds of the Cable Beach Club earlier, I came across a tiny little creature hopping around. I was told it was a new born wallaby:
