Day 12 - Broome to Quondong Beach
Sunday, 3 June 2012
Into town to check out the markets, hoping to find a massage stall - something has to clear this 5-day headache! Ten minutes of Tough Thai torture and I felt a lot better, sort of - exchanged the headache for a feeling as if I had been in a wrestling match :) we rendezvoused with Michael at Matso's Brewery for lunch. Having first sampled their Smokey Bishop in Clancy's years ago, it was on my "must do" list to visit their premises in Broome. A delightful old building, oozing character and old world charm - give me somewhere like this any day over Cable Beach Resort. Proved to be our lucky day again. Chauffeur ordered our Smokey Bishops and the bar lady told us to get a table number so we could order food, which we did. Chauffeur went back with a table number to order food. He paid for the drinks and food, whereupon the bar lady served 2 more drinks. No, no, said chauffeur I already have the drinks, "can't have" she says, we don't do that, you have to have a table number before we can serve you. But we already have drinks claims chauffeur, she point blank refused to believe that she had served us drinks only a few minutes before and said to take these! Well, what do you do? Michael lucked out this time, as he rolled up a few minutes later and we gave him one of the beers and we shared the 4th. At 7%, 2 glasses of that and you will know about it! Before Michael could order food, ours arrived and there was more than enough for 3- so it was a freebie day for him.
Leaving Broome we went via Willie Creek Pearl Farm and had a very interesting "free" talk on the sex and gonads of oysters! No wonder they are so expensive. A little further on to Quondong Beach for the night. Quite a lot of campers (long weekenders) so maybe not the best spot (long grass - looking out for Snicks) but sleeping to the sound of the waves was awesome.
