Reluctantly packed up at Derby - have really enjoyed the time here and we will probably come back for 1 or 2 nights on the way back - if we do the scout leader has offered us his yard to park the van. On the way out of town checked out the cattle trough - supposed to be the longest anywhere - its about 100m long.
Then just a little trip down the road to broom - we checked at the information center and after a little running around we found a spot at the Seventh Day Adventist church grounds.
The caretaker at the camp ground told us they only open these grounds as overflow for a 7 week period in the middle of the tourist season and it cost $35 per night which is no more than we've paid anywhere else, so we got our spot despite the horror stories we've been told.
In the afternoon had a look through town and went into one of the pearl shops - the pearls were impressive however the souvenir shop next door held the rela surprise. There was an incredible display of 3d fish made from plaster along the back wall. When I asked about them was told they're all made by a local over a period of 50 years - he caught them them made a plaster cast and painted them himself - the pearls were nice but this display is worth a visit.
Went down and had a squiz at the famed Cable Beach - boy there's plenty of sand there!
Back to the van and finished setting up then settled for the night.
