Our chateau looking up from the beach, we really do like it here and it's great to be staying a while. We sit out front and be entertained by the goings on in the bay and instead of watching the cows come home, we watch the tide rise and fall. The hover craft goes by a few times a day, it's a tour thing, there's no sneaking up on you in that, it hammers. 
We had another earlyish start to the day to head over to Gantheaume Point to go in search of dinasour tracks. These can only be seen at low tide also, but it's not an hours walk. It's just a rocky climb down and across the rocks to where the prints lay. Look at that sky, another beautiful day, we know it's probably coming one day but so far we have not had one day of rain, fantastic! 
We found the 3 sites where the tracks lay, actually we got an 8 year old boy to show us where they were, it would've been a task otherwise, they kind of blend in fairly well. There were only a couple cars in the carpark when we got there, when we left the carpark full, so it does attract quite a few people. The footprints are over 120 million years old. 
This is the lighthouse at Gantheaume Point. The light house keeper must have the best location in Broome, on the point, no neighbours (just a steady stream of tourists walking by). There is a huge Osprey nest just under the lighthouse deck, we can hear the chicks and the mum and dad are flying about bringing back the catch to feed them.
We went for a bit of a walk down the left side from the light house, along the cliffs heading to Reddell Beach and come across a series of blow holes. We plan on coming back when the tide is higher to see these in action. Back to camp to vege out, go for a swim, vege out some more and happy hour!
