Middle Lagoon - Dampier Peninsula


Day 37

Broome to Middle Lagoon 173km

 


Sunset at Middle Lagoon - not half bad
Well, Middle Lagoon is meant to be one of the most beautiful places on the Dampier peninsula. It is amazing. What is NOT is the road in. The Cape Leveque Rd, we were told was pretty bad. It wasn’t that bad. It had 80km of dirt that was mostly smooth sandy base, some corrugations. The Middle lagoon rd was 33km of BIG corrugations, single lane mostly and deep sand.

 
 
 

Take the kids to the beach late in the arvo. Did I mention is about 38 degrees!!!!!

 

Group of 50 somethings next to us crack out a guitar and start singing after dinner. Not amazing, but not bad. Anyway, some fun Nazi come over at 750pm and suggests its “a bit late for that don’t you think?” at 1950 aty night??!! Talk about being the “fun Police”.  disappointed

 

Day 38 Still Middle lagoon. Not leaving so soon after such an awful  road.

 

Shells were in abundance at Middle Lagoon

Ready to try Snorkelling
 
2 trips to the beach today. Both in the car. Promise to crack out the snorkelling gear after lunch.

 

Snorkelling proves MASSIVE hit. Kids see fish they call “pencil fish” because they look like they have pencils on their noses, and some big ones. Max was “surrounded” but fish!!! Both kids loved it!
All this swimming is making me tired...........


 

Kids catch up with friends from Ellenbrae, Manning Gorge and Broome

 

Join in the singalong after an invite. No Fun Police tonight and  good time had by all.
