Road Trip To Broome

Bf and I had a last minute change of plans and decided to go on a road trip over the Easter long weekend. After loading up on snacks, drinks and an eski full of ice, bf and I headed north to sunny Broome! The 612km road trip from Port Hedland to Broome had us stopping by the Pardoo and Sandfire Roadhouses.

There were a lot more cows around than I expected, and the only sight of kangaroos were the ones who weren’t so lucky in the game of chicken…

The pearling industry is what initially attracted many to Broome

Now it’s more of a cozy tourist town best known for it’s Cable Beach.

Broome is also home to the oldest operating outdoor cinema. Bf and I went to watch Alice in Wonderland (which btw was a great watch).

It’s definitely the only time you can get distracted from the movie by planes coming in for landing, or lizards sitting on the screen

Gantheaume Point is another popular tourist hotspot…

But you would want to go to Gantheaume Point just for the amazing view where desert meets ocean…
