More Pictures from Broome

We went to a Japanese Cemetary that mostly consisted of people affected by the White Australia Policy, which forbid any non-anglo European person from entering the country for over 70 years. 

These are the fish we caught and the bread we made for lunch one day!

Brad caught a baby shark. No joke.

Driving through the Red Dirt Road

This is Evil, the Morgan's truck. He's been through some pretty amazing rivers.

I just thought this was funny because we had a 70's love bus pick us up from the Airport.

Jaclyn, Katie, myself, and Heather at our last sunset at Cable Beach

Another magnificent sunset at Cable Beach

Gone Fishin

This is the beach where we went crabbing and played for the day. It was a fun beach to get to which involved a few hours of off roading and driving through 6 feet tall mudrivers, but it's a pretty special place! Totally worth it :)

When we arrived at this beach, the tide was extremely low. By the time we left, I would have been completely underwater if I stood in the same place. 

Tony with two Aboriginal Elders we hung out with for the day


Perfection
THis is me Trying to spear a target. I was horrible.

These kids were so funny, although the picture may suggest differently. They hung out with us for a day and taught us how to fish and build sand castles. They also taught us that putting mud on your skin would keep the bugs from biting you. They asked a lot of questions about American culture, especially about the movies and how accurate they were to real american live. One of them told us that her favorite movie was "American Gangster"-- interesting.



This is another picture from Cable Beach. This beach has the 2nd largest tide in the world, next to one in the states.



THis photo was taken after we played in the rain at Cable Beach for an afternoon. Such a fun day.

My attempt at playing the Didgeridoo, an aboriginal instrument. 

When we went mud crabbing, parts of the mud were so deep that we would sink down to our knees.  One of the girls on our trip broke her foot, so we tried to carry her around so she could try crabbing. We ended up getting stuck and falling in the mud many times. I even lost my shoe for a good potion of the time. It was extremely funny though, and we all came out looking like good balls.
