Day 65 - Cape Leveque to Eighty Mile Beach

As you can see from the heading on this entry, Mindo hut wasn't available for the fourth night. We could have moved to the hut next door, but Justin and I decided it wasn't worth the bother to move for one night. We would tack an extra day onto Ningaloo Peninsular instead. Therefore we left at ten, and had a big day of driving ahead of us. Getting petrol at the Roebourne Roadhouse 25km out of Broome was as exciting as the journey got. The stretch of road between Broome and Karratha is particularly dull. We pulled in at Port Headland for lunch, but I couldn't find a bakery. We settled for supermarket bread. They are doing major street renovations in the town centre, so it was hard to find anything.

Eighty Mile Beach was a nice caravan park between the first and second sand dunes. There isn't any shelter from trees, so the sea breeze is much appreciated. We saw the ubiquitous sunset, still enthralling.
