We have gone to Church in Broome

We are now in Broome.  The rest areas we camped up in beforehand were chockers.  The caravan parks here are full.  The info centre has a board out the front each morning with any vacancies that may occur.  Prices start at $38 to $50 per night!!!!!!!.   We are camped up in the 7th Day Adventist Church grounds. The church, the pistol club and the police youth club are all designated "overflow" facilities when you cant get into a regular park.  You can only stay in these areas for 7 days.    We are quite happy here.  Its $35 per night, a nice big site for the bus, green grass, power, water and next to the amenities.   We initially booked for 3 nights to see how we felt, and to also check out the availability of moving into a caravan park.  Rick and I are happy to stay here, we dont want to pack up and move, not sure what our two lots of friends want to do, as they did want the pool etc. that parks offer.  But what we save here, can be spent on something "nice" like going out to dinner etc.   The Council requires the Church and all of the overflow venues to close down on Tues 23rd as they beleive it is then over the "peak".   We are considering asking to stay on till this date, which would give us 10 days here.   Havent seen much of Broome yet, a quick look at the famous Cable Beach was a must and it didnt disappoint.  Did a market yesterday while we waited for our site to become available and then another market last night (same stuff over and over again).
