Out here to pick up the lighthouse on our way to the airport. My last cache in Broome. TFTC
Headed down to the Point to watch the awesome sunset and grabbed a photo as well.
I flew from Broome to Perth for a work trip which will also take me to Derby. I arrived around lunch time and eventually when my luggage arrived i headed over to grab a hire car. I then headed off to the resort and got settled in here. I decided to do some sightseeing and some caching for GA and GC caches. The closest one was a trig about 200 metres away so around the corner and parked up and trekked up the sandy hill and soon had the trig at my foot. What an outstanding view over Broome and surrounds. I trekked back down the hill and headed over to Cable Beach after stopping for a train - Camel train that is. Grabbed a few caches here then headed off out to Ganthaeume Point for some sightseeing and grabbed the LIghthouse here as well. Eventually i made it back into town all be it getting dark and grabbed the last remaining caches both GA and GC.
This light house was easy to spot from afar and grabbed a photo of it with an Osprey nest in the tower structure. It looks abit shabby and is need of some tlc. Thanks for the cache and bringing me here Team MAVETJU it was worth stopping by here just for the views.

The Big Western Australia trip in 2018. Day 19. I drove down to Broome early to go on an afternoon cruise, but that was cancelled due to wind, so caching kept me busy all day until I finished at sunset on Cable Beach.
Thanks

Was in town for a couple of nights as we make our way south towards home after spending time up north and along the Gibb River Road.
Lots of people coming and going so grabbed a quick photo as I was walking passed trying not to block anyone's stroll
Don't think I'd like to have 'my house' up there like the bird
