Broome Camp Five Fun Packed Days

 

We were off to Broome, we said good bye to our parents and we were off to Auski Road House, where we had a bathroom break.  Then we got on the bus and drove to Port Hedland and had our lunch that our parents had packed for us.  We arrived in Broome at approximately 7:30pm we were a few hours late but we were really excited when we got there, we got our bags and put them in the bay then we went to dinner.

 

When we got up on Tuesday morning we had our breakfast and we walked down to the beach. The waves were HUGE and we ran straight to the water. The water was so warm it was lovely. We body surfed and Hana and I did backflips when the waves came, we also dived into the waves it was so much fun.

We walked back to camp and had a quick shower, got dressed and we got on the bus to go to the Crocodile Park.  When we got to the park we sat down on the benches and had a talk about how to stay safe around crocodiles, then got to hold a small hatchling they were so cute (my favourite animals are crocodiles so I was very excited).  We walked around the farm and then we got to feed the crocs. We went to the gift shop and I brought a crocodile teddy we got on the bus and went back to camp, we had dinner and went to bed. My bunk buddy was Keira.

The next night we walked down to the beach and we had a beach BBQ dinner, the food was really yummy. We had hotdogs and hamburgers. As the sun set we took a lot of photos of the sun setting and we had silhouettes which looked really cool.

On the last day in Broome we got up at 6am and had breakfast at 7am we went down to the beach and meet the camels.  Hana and I were partners and we went on the most energetic camel they have, it gets up and down really fast.  We also got to feed our camels at the end, once we were done with the camels we went to have a look at the newly found dinosaur foot prints they were found on Tuesday the 6^th September and we arrived on the 5^th September so it was pretty amazing!

It was a great week, however we had to pack up and go home. It took 11 hours to drive back to Tom Price, we were so excited to see our family. I didn’t get to see my dad the first night because he was on nightshift but he surprised me in the morning. We had such an amazing time and I think it was the best experience I’ve had in my life time so far!
