Dampier Peninsula

We stayed at Middle Lagoon - 180klms north of Broome on the Dampier Peninsula. Natures hideaway it is called. Paradise. The water is sooooo clear - makes it really easy to spot the Crocs(just joking). Did see quite a few reef sharks off the rocks- the fishing is excellent here. There are so few people living up here the fish supplies are still plentiful. Tony caught a really nice spangled emperor and a tuskfish -and lost about $100 worth of tackle! There were hardly any people here - we had the beach to ourselves most of the time.

Campsite at Middle Lagoon

King brown snake on the road in to middle lagoon - about 2.5m long -scary even from the car. Middle Lagoon is run by the Aboriginal community and the kids that live here are free to roam wherever they want- swimming, playing spotlight -great life. When I told them about the snake, the mum said that they killed one the same size a couple of months earlier - she said that they usually get baby browns which the kids kill........but the 2.5m ones they leave to the adults!

 Road into Middle Lagoon - was a bit washed out in a few spots -keeps the grey nomads at Broome!!!!

One Arm Point is at the tip of the Peninsula and they have a hachery there. They breed nemos etc for Aquariums. The kids loved it because they could feed the green turtles (jasmine below), barra, touch sea anenomes and star fish. Jeremy fed a barra and it jumped out of the water and made a really loud slap as it took the fish - scared the life out of him - very funny.

Beagle Bay is an aboriginal community and has this amazing church made of mother of pearl and lots of different shells - very beautiful. Was built and decorated by monks and the aboriginal people in 1917

This is a picture of Cape Leveque east beach. Another perfect spot.


 This is Cape Leveque west beach. Famous for red cliffs onto white beaches aganist very blue clear ocean. Featured on Qantas adds. Spectacular.
