Bush Camp 70km E of Broome - Mon 13th to Wed 15th August

We have to wait in (expensive) Broome for almost a week to get a seaplane flight to Cape Leveque and the "Horizontal Waterfalls". So we decided to spend a night in a bush camp on the 222km trip between Derby and Broome. Seventy kilometres east of Broome we found what we were looking for.

Our private bush camp lake

To our delight the "unofficial" wayside stop had a small lake, or large dam, where several Brahman bulls came to drink. We liked the place so much we stayed two nights.

The sun was shining so we put some water into our solar showers and put them in the sun for a couple of hours. Very good open air shower.

After a day in the sun next day the water was too hot for a comfortable shower, but we coped!

We had the place to ourselves on Monday night, but sadly a family group discovered the place on Tuesday evening.
