The track at Five

Days  11, 12 and 13.

21^st, 22^nd and 23^rd April.  Broome to Cape Leveque.

I feel as if I have arrived in heaven, or the earthly form of heaven! But of course like any magic heavenly place, there is a price to pay!! Cape Leveque is only 200 Kms from Broome, BUT 100Kms of that distance is unsurfaced road. I don’t just mean unsurfaced!  I mean a red dusty canal with sides at least a metre high! Bright red sand, not bull dust, lines this canal, but of course every now and then to keep every red blooded 4WD person on their toes there is a particularly sandy patch where the driver fights with the steering wheel , swinging it rapidly from side to side, just to stay on a straight line to get through this challenge, and then just when you think you have this demon sorted out, the road throws in a stony lumpy section!  Pity about the tyres being on 18psi..  Sometimes the road is a wide “dual lane highway” and other times it becomes a one lane bush track. No over taking here!

But when you get to the end of it, what a treat!

We have spent most of the time either on the beach watching sunsets, or Just on the beach.

Oh by the way, this is an ecological resort and we do have to share our conveniences with the local nature.

So with the setting sun lighting our path, I can tell you we have spent a wonderful  few days at Cape Leveque charging up our batteries for Broome.
