7th September, 2014

Today started with 4 loads of washing and we still have more to go tomorrow. The sand, dust and dew up at Middle Lagoon left us and our clothing feeling in need of a good clean. 

Then we drove into town to check out the Sunday Market. It wasn't very big, there were only a few merchandise stalls and just as many food stalls. From there it was off to do some grocery shopping before heading to Maccas for a $1 Cheeseburger which I was allowed to have as it was Fathers Day.

Back to the van park for a swim in the resort pool before we made our way into town for the Shinju Festival Street Parade. We lined up on the street and watched the floats, bikes, Chinese dragon, fire trucks and vintage cars come down the street and head into the centre of town. The streets were lined with punters, the people on the floats were throwing handfuls of lollies at the kids and then the fire trucks started squirting water all over the kids. It was great to be there to see it all unfold, the towns people really got into it and all the kids had a ball. We followed the parade down to the oval where they all congregated and had a close up look, while the band kicked into gear. 



Then we stopped at Cable Beach to watch another beautiful Broome sunset.
