More of Broome Willie Creek - Cable Beach - Town

Hi, today we drove to Willie Creek Pearl Farm-as the crow flies only 16 kms from Broome, but by road almost an hour, most of the trip on unsealed roads. They had beautiful pearl jewellery for sale, but I resisted the urge to buy a $16,000 necklace!

Pearl beds

The water  is the most incredibly blue I have ever seen.  Top right corner you can see the waves breaking past the sand bar.

The dark blobs are jellyfish-there has been a bit of an invasion of them in the last few days.  The are called sea tomatoes because of their red colour & shape, and are the size of a clenched fist.

Gallery & cafe

Good boy!

The road to the pearl farm- this doesn't show how red the dirt  really is, & the corrugations were horrible

Some shots around Broome

We visited the lighthouse out on the point, some photos from there

Path down to the cliffs below the lighthouse

This is a giant birds nest next to the ladder,  it is about 2 metres across & is home to a family of sea eagles.

Anatasia's Pool- a former lighthouse keeper in the old days made this for his wife who suffered from arthritis. Mind you, it took me 10 minutes scrambling over & around rocks to reach it so I'm not sure how the arthritic wife managed!

Cars are allowed to drive on certain sections of the beach, so we gave it a try!
