As I drive out of our street I have three options - straight across the highway into the back road to town OR turn left and take the highway to Broome - a cute seaside town - famous for its pearls some 2 hrs away and a popn of 16,000 and where my dear son lives with his family. Yes I do visit occasionally but NOT frequently. He has a crazy Thai wife and three kids who sit in their rooms with Ipads ; so don't converse much!
OR turn right and take the highway to Derby passing small businesses on the left side only - the right is virgin land waiting for a new housing estate to be built - but there is no money; no people and no jobs!! - yippee! First encounter in town is the petrol station on the left and Woolworths on the right, as well as an new super duper furniture/Tv/ kitchen ware store! We have lovely boab trees many years old running right up the center of the main drag! - on the way to the jetty which is the end of town we have ; police station; tourist center ; council chambers ; post office of course ; fishing gear shop etc etc and then straight through marsh land to the 180 degree jetty - I think I can do a pick of that later? - we still shop ore and other goods out from the jetty on smaller barges which take them to the big ships!! phew I'm tired after that drive!!
