Plastic Beach

Broome, see the whales, get lost in the local outback and then get eaten by snakes(or the locals). Try our local expensive food, find an escort and ride a camel. Top it all off by getting stung by one of our many many jellyfish and being peed on.

Broome is built for tourists. Its beautiful but its all gift shops and expensive restaurants. You have to travel outside the town to see any real countryside and there is plenty of it. Rented a scooter (which i christened "the hog") for 2 days and going around broome was much easier and 40 times as fun. Went out sight seeing and happened across some fossilized dinosaur footprints, apparently the broome coast is full of them. Needless to say that awoke the nerd in me and now any time im near rocks at the beach I start looking for footprints.



I also caught the biggest fish I have ever caught. Its called a Cobia and it weighed in at 9.5 kilos which in irish fishermans weight is 20lbs 14oz. It took me over 20 minutes to land and it almost pulled me off the boat twice. Epically manly day!!



No luck so far with the job search. Ive handed in my CV EVERYWHERE and nothing. Iol give another week of solid searching for a job and I may move off. If you dont get a job here its too expensive to stay here.

Il have to look at my options again, I wanted farm work or something akin to that but there is just nothing here.

Me thinks its back to the drawing board.
Redman out.
