Road Trip Day 12 - Day 5 in Broome

14/3/2011

I woke up and noticed it was just starting to get light outside and checked the time. 5:30am. If I got moving I could be on the viewing platform for sunrise, so off I went. Most of last night's rain had dried off the land and was now back in the air – I was sweating profusely within a few minutes.

Road Trip Day 13 - Day 6 in Broome

15/3/2011

Today was pretty lazy. I got up around 8 and wandered down to the platform for a look. Today was neap tide, so there were no large flocks pushed onto the beaches or loads of mud exposed for waders to feed on. Despite this I managed to ID a few waders on the mud in front of me. I cooled back down in the donga and slathered sunscreen over myself before heading to breakfast. My milk was off, I guess, it HAS been open for about a week and half that time it was stored in a car fridge that was only running during the day when I was driving. Someone left some rice milk in the fridge so I used that, BBO and rice milk just seem to go together.

( I wish I never had to leave )
