Welcome to part one of our photo posts, highlighting the amazing time we had over 5 weeks in the Kimberley. If you want to see the next post, you can find it here – Off to Cape Leveque.
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 breakNewman to Port Hedland is a very scenic driveCertainly a change from driving around PerthThe sun just about to show its faceWe passed a number of big road trains on the way upThe mining in Port Hedland was pretty incredibleThe GoPro got hit by a giant bugAfter two long days of driving, we were pretty happy to set up camp at Cable Beach Caravan ParkOff to Gantheaume PointA truly remarkable placeNothing beats the access a 4WD gives youA nifty boat just around the cornerBroome’s town beachThe bluest water you will ever seeReplacing a leaking axle seal in the car parkMalcolm Douglas Crocodile ParkThey love the algaeOur tour guide getting really excitedThey’ve got some mammoth crocodiles hereA dingo at the crocodile park (in it’s own enclosure of course!)Cable beach car parkPossibly the best thing about Broome; 4WD access directly onto Cable beach!Heading down for the sunset with some fish and chipsThe camels in BroomeMassive tides means a huge beach to drive onLoving the way the water sits on the sandFishing at 80 mile beach80 mile beach shell collectionMore beautiful sunsetsOur 80 has taken us to some truly special places
We stayed there back in 2015, so a while ago! If its the same site, it had a bit of shade, some views and a bit of protection. We liked it, and preferred it over the cliff ones that would leave you exposed to the wind. It’s only a short walk to the beach
Have fun

Saw your blog on middle lagoon and that you were on site 29 which is the site we’ve booked for April. Is it a good site and what would be the positives and negatives. Cheers and Thankyou. Kevin.
