Broome tour

Had to check out early so we checked our bags in the hotel. Having missed the local bus we hired a cab who drive us all around the area and left us inthe town where we. kW are....they call their downtown area China Town...a little confusing 
We are in the Dragon Cafe....having health drinks until Mary decided she was properly hungry and 
Ordered fish and chips.....a large piece of Barumbi. Not breaded  and masses of chips
We had toured an aborigine shop which was air conditioned to an extreme,,,,here all the doors are open and there are many fans whiz zinc over top so it is quite pleasant
We learned that they have a 33 foot tide...one of the largest in the world.or so he said.
Lots of crocodiles...snakes..and sharks....every once in a while a croc comes up to the beach where people swim and the. It is caught and taken away...but that takes some time..
There is a port which is used to transport cattle... 12000 head at a time...
They are drilling for gas..and that too is e ported
The beef goes to Indonesia.  
No gutters on roofs even tho in January they get a massive amount of rain, gutters  also are a liability during the hurricanes which they suffer regularly
