Sunset at Cable Beach, Broome WA

It's difficult to choose the photos to show of the lovely sunsets at Broome.  If there is cloud, the sunset is more dramatic.  We went several times driving onto the beach and along the beach at Broome in WA.

Several times we went down to the beach Cable Beach to take sunset photos.
The photos are taken from the beginning of the sunset to the end looking at the Indian Ocean.

Travelling in Western Australia...

Western Australia is the bigggest State of Australia. It covers one side of this Land from top to bottom.
There are very few towns.

No such thing as 'Fresh Bread' up north.  It's frozen and mostly sold thawed.
Many places (Caravan Parks) there is little or NO TV.
Heaps of places there is no Telephone Service or Internet Services, even as you drive down the road. For km there is isolation.
Fuel is available at Roadhouses placed just in the correct position from the last one. There are no other houses or people other than those who work in them.  
Most people who work in these places (Roadhouses) are from another country. Germany, France, Denmark, Holland, Ireland, England, Asians and a few other countries.  There seems to be hardly any Australians. I believe that most of these people who are young are on working Visas and it's very isolated for them here in the State of Western Australia (WA)


We travel 500 km some days which takes up to 7 hours of driving, stopping for 5 minutes here and there to stretch our legs. We usually leave on such days at 5.30am so that we arrive just after lunch time at our new destination.
Whilst in a town we look around the sites, find out the history if possible, take photos and meet the local people.
One thing that Western Australia has this time of year is Wildflowers.  There are so many kinds it would take a mountain of years to document and photographic them.

Flower below is Sturt Desert Pea

Purple Mulla Mula


Perennial Statice


Not sure of the name of this white flower.
