Derby WA

We finally left Broome and drove to Derby, a trip of 220kms. There was still a fair amount of traffic even though the school holidays have finished. From Broome we travelled east to rejoin the Great Northern Hwy. We crossed a couple of single lane bridges which was surprising given the volume of traffic and the fact this is part of Highway No 1.

We have seen hundreds of termite mounds along the roads but in one section we travelled today they resembled a graveyard, hence the pics.

Derby is 42kms off the highway to the north. We had booked into the Kimberley Entrance Caravan Park on the recommendation of several other travellers. Originally we planned to stay just one night but when I was booking in I decided it would be worth a two night stay. The park is lovely - there is plenty of shade for the van and the dogs which is good as we have no awning, the facilities are clean and modern, and the park is spacious. There is a tall cyclone fence around the boundary, which is reassuring as there are tidal mud flats the other side of the boundary closest to us so the fence will keep out those pesky crocs!
