Point Samson to Derby (June 6th – 13th)

6/06/2013: Yesterday we wrote our journals, Daddy fixed the camper trailer door and Oliver and I went in the FREEZING cold swimming pool.  Today we packed up and drove all the way to Point Samson.  On the way there we almost ran out of fuel and we had a broken windscreen.  We arrived at Point Samson at about 5:30pm.

Today we packed up and got ready to go to Eighty Mile beach.  On the way there were stopped at Port Hedland and watched the boats coming into the harbour.  When we got to the turnoff for Eighty Mile beach it was closed so we decided to get to Broome as quickly as possible.  By the time we got to Broome it was almost 8.00pm.  So we set up and had dinner and went to bed.

Today we stayed at the campsite and went in the swimming pool.  In the evening we went down to Cable Beach to watch the sunset (Cable Beach is famous for it’s sunset):

On Sunday, Oliver and I went to the pool and had a swim AGAIN!  At 5.00pm we went to see some real Dinosaur footprints!  We also went to watch the sunset:

It was worth the climb, those footprints are 120 million years old!

Yesterday Oliver and I went into the pool while Daddy fixed the camper trailer, AGAIN!!  Later in the afternoon we went for a bike ride to China town.  Then we went to Subway and had lunch in the park.  We met some friends called Anne and Malcolm.  We met some frogs that lived in their bus and we learnt a new card game and Anne gave us her art books.  Malcolm tried to make a mould of my hand but the plaster was too old and it did not set properly:

Today we left Broome and headed to Derby to start our journey on the Gibb River Road tomorrow.  We had a swim in the Derby swimming pool and went to see the famous jetty.  In the evening we had a great meal in one of the cafes before buying our last lot of food before setting off tomorrow.
