Easter trip to Broome

Chelle and I went to Broome for Easter, flew out first thing Good Friday and didn't leave till the following Sunday night - 9 nights in the tropical Pearl Capital of the world.

Look at this little beauty - the local mud crab


Sunset on Cable Beach - something everyone needs to see in person!


Stokin up the fire to cook the muddies on


Another amazing Cable Beach vista


Picking up the scooters.. the blinding whiteness hurts my eyes even now


Ivan and Claire ready to roll


Chelle and Ivan - Born to be Wild!!


Everyone clearly ready for the self-timer shot


Awesome rocks and the lighthouse at Gantheaume Point


Imagine the burnout I had to pull to make this puddle!


Cocktails in the pool at Ivan and Claire's resort - Rendezvous


Just chillin'


Liam and Jasmine having dinner at the Sunset Bar


Jaz cheating! Using a rod to catch fish... what a joke! Ahh well, atleast she caught one


Chelle, Jas and I went and did the tour at Willie Creek Pearl Farm - it was really cool to see how they farm the pearls, and why they are worth sooo much. Here's a close up of a pearl oyster and the little crab that keeps him clean.


The Famous Damper Recipe


Heading out from Willie Creek - the colour is almost unreal!


Hand line fishing again down at "Sabu Rock" - finally i caught one!


Went for a drink at the local micro-brewery "Matso's" - they had a range of beers, all with their own picture on the wall. Probably their best drop for my liking was the Monsoonal Blonde - yummy wheat beer!


Their premium lager - Hit The Toad (also to sponsor beer of Jasmines touch footy team)


Smokey Bishop


Sow's Ear


And the most famous (especially with the female population up there)Ginger Beer


Chelle, Tess, Tash and Jaz


Pretty ones!


Getting up-close and personal with Barney


Back to Matso's for a 'tasting plate'


Chelle and I at the Sunset Bar overlooking Cable beach on the night before we left

Jasmine and me at the quintuple 21st party (5 of the cousins all turning 21 in the space of 2 months, this was the reason we went to Broome)
