After a night in Broome we were back ont he road and on our way north. First Quondong Beach a free camping bush area - it was fantastic, we had the whole place to ourselves !! On the way , we again we came to the help of a family broken down, it was dissapointing to hear several people passed them without assisting ?! - They had a blown radiator hose. Next we came across a bogged 2wd van, then on the rough part of Cape Leveque Rd we were the first to arrive at the site of a 4wd van that had rolled. The passengers and Driver we all ok, a bit shaken (no pun intended), the owner only had the van for two weeks.

Cape Leveque - WOW WOW WOW - we loved this place, stunning. www.ardi.com.au

Not only did we connect with the place, we connected quickly and easily with the people staying there. There were many (mis)adventurous stories shared along with the love of the land. Many of the people camping here had young children up to about 13 years old. We really enjoyed connecting with our neighbouring campers with 3 older boys with their widely (wildly) bright eyes and strong presence. They all had done a lot of travelling from a young age, perhaps unschooled - I wanted to ask and got side tracked.... the family did seem to be tuned into natural learning.

At Cape Leveque the humidity kicked in as we were surrounded by water. Along the journey I had thought we aclimatised quickly as 38 degrees below seemed comfortable after doing several bush walks with temps reaching past 45 degrees. Back at Emerald Beach I think we would have a complete meltdown with continous temps in the high 30's.... I was going to write about the Gibb and the gorges .... might save that for our return....

Anyway, back in Broome as a stepping stone for the next adventure and hoping for more "Cape Leveques"... where to next? ... 80mile beach then Karajini... Dampier? or Exmouth...
