Broome

We are now 2200km north of Perth where for years I have always wished to be the local BOM duty forecaster. A snip of a job: 31,31,31,31,32,31,31,31,32 with an occasional 33 temperature.
Twiggy’s forebear Premier John Forrest chose the site on Roebuck Bay for this regional town and named it after Sir Frederick Broome then WA governor, who incidentally had the Governor Broome Hotel (corner of Roe and William Streets Perth) named after him. Sadly, like so many popular Perth pubs, all have simply disappeared.
This period of our trip has been nominated the driver’s fortnight; the temperature is right for a dip in the pool, the movies are only $8.50 for seniors on Wednesday, the Speedway next door is on on the 12th and I will be there with Sam and Ryan, (the tickets are also half price from the office!)
Isabel has worked out an imaginative menu plan for all meals from the time the grand kids arrive, which is next Sunday and it’s going to be a top time for all.
Savings.
Isabel has worked out that we get a miserly 6km per litre of petrol, so the driver’s fortnight is also a BBB ( Broome budget beater)
