At 3AM on May 2, 2015, we got into our fully loaded 80 series Land Cruiser and headed north. The start of our holiday was Broome, but we had planned to stop at Newman for a night, before doing the remaining 11 hours the following day.

Stopped for a quick break

Newman to Port Hedland is a very scenic drive

Certainly a change from driving around Perth

The sun just about to show its face

We passed a number of big road trains on the way up

The mining in Port Hedland was pretty incredible

The GoPro got hit by a giant bug

After two long days of driving, we were pretty happy to set up camp at Cable Beach Caravan Park

Off to Gantheaume Point

A truly remarkable place

Nothing beats the access a 4WD gives you

A nifty boat just around the corner

Broome’s town beach

The bluest water you will ever see

Replacing a leaking axle seal in the car park

Malcolm Douglas Crocodile Park

They love the algae

Our tour guide getting really excited

They’ve got some mammoth crocodiles here

A dingo at the crocodile park (in it’s own enclosure of course!)

Cable beach car park

Possibly the best thing about Broome; 4WD access directly onto Cable beach!

Heading down for the sunset with some fish and chips

The camels in Broome

Massive tides means a huge beach to drive on

Loving the way the water sits on the sand

Fishing at 80 mile beach

80 mile beach shell collection

More beautiful sunsets

Our 80 has taken us to some truly special places
From here, we headed up to Cape Leveque, another magical place in the Kimberley. You can see the photos in our next post at Cape Leveque. From there, we hit the Gibb River road, and then Lake Argyle and the Bungle Bungles.
