Ry's Report Broome- Port Smith

At Broome we stayed at Cable Beach caravan park.  It was nice and had the best pool we’ve ever seen.  The pool had a waterfall and cave in it.  We went out to Cable Beach and we were allowed to drive on it.  It is a Nudey  beach and we were all laughing at the nudies.  We rode camels down the beach and saw even more nudies from way up high on the camel’s back.  The camels were really funny when they stood up because they did it so quickly and you had to be ready or you’d fall off.  When they sat down they were just as funny because they look like they’re about to collapse.  You had to lock your arms in really tight and hold on.  We watched the sunset and it was really beautiful.  After that dad chased us down the beach in the car and when  he overtook us we just jumped on the side of the car and hitched a ride.  I fell off the car when it was going at about 20km ph and started tumbling.  Then I jumped up and caught back up to the car.



Hammerhead cruising past the jetty
We went fishing and caught lots of fish.  I hooked onto two three meter long sharks.  They were shovel nose sharks.  I pulled them straight up to the surface and then handed the rod to Dad but they were too heavy to pull up onto the pier and they broke my line.  We saw a hammer head shark it was swimming around the pier there were also turtles and lots of other fish to see.  We were catching lots of pretty fish like the five striped sea perch. We fished heaps.  I caught a yellow tailed trevally and it put on a great fight, he was taking me everywhere.  There are dinosaur footprints at Broome but we couldn’t see them because the tide wasn’t down low enough.  We went to the beach and Taj and I collected lots of jelly fish on our boogie boards.  We showed the lifeguards and they told us not to touch underneath them because some of them would still have their stingers.  Taj ended up getting stung. 


My Trevally


We drove along a red dirt road to get to Port Smith.  A one caravan park town.  I don’t think it’s actually a town because there is only a caravan park.  We went there because we were told there was great fishing and a beautiful lagoon.  We got there and the tide was already out so the lagoon was empty.  We started fishing but we had no bites for 2hrs.  Then as we got our first bites the bites kept coming.  We ended up catching eight fish, cod and perch.  Taj had a good time trying to catch jelly fish.  He got a hook and walked into the sea trying to hook them up.  It kept him entertained while Mum, Dad, Tamsyn and I kept fishing.  Then at the end Taj decided that he wanted to try fishing so I hooked a fish and then called him over to reel it in.  It took him ages to get to me because he was on the other side of the rocks.  I had to wind in the fish and then I let the bail arm go so that it would swim off a bit.  Then Taj came over and started reeling it in, it put on a good fight and Taj was really excited when he got it up on the beach.


Until next week
See ya from Ry.
