We sweep into Broome

Finally made it to Broome, and feeling sick of driving we are staying 4 nights. By simple coincidence we are here for the Stairway to the Moon, an event occurring at low tides on the full moon. The moonlight shines on the sand flats, giving the appearance of a staircase going up to the moon, it's quite amazing.Unfortunately, we didn't get any good photos due to operator error, hmmm, but this one gives you the idea.

The Broome coastline is just gorgeous, with red cliffs, white sandy beaches and turquoise blue water.

Broome is of course famous for its pearls. We had an interesting tour of the Willie Creek Pearl farm, and I wandered around China town where the Pearl shops are while Garry waited nervously in the car chewing his nails, as the pearls are soooo expensive. I saw one I liked but for some unknown  reason he wouldn't buy it for me.

                The largest round pearl in the world, worth over a million dollars.

I did get to wear a pearl necklace worth $40,000 at the pearl farm for a short while, that will have to do.
