Broome in New Year

Marg at Cable Beach

Not quite New Year but a great time spent in Broome.  After cyclone Laurence it was lacking humidity but still around 35 degrees.  Marg and I spent a few days relaxing, seeing local sights like Willie Creek pearl farm and enjoying a fabulous timeshare apartment.
We did spend 3 hours at the Broome hospital where we watched several aboriginal kids come in with stinger wounds and Marg was diagnosed with shingles.  All power to Marg - her very painful condition seemed to only make it easier to relax.

One of the highlights was the flight over Australia which was showing the signs of 4 inches of rain from the cyclone. Lake Eyre was full and Australia looked like one big lake from 30,000ft.   The Qantas pilot was thoughtful enough to take us lower and completely circle Uluru for great views from both sides of the plane.
