A walk in the rock pools

A long weekend, a very low tide - what else are you going to do on a Sunday morning but get up early and go and explore rock pools.  These photos all taken at Entrance Point in Broome.

Back at last!

Wow!  I can't believe it's been nearly five months since I last posted here!  Very busy and interesting times, obviously.  I will see what I can do about making up for lost time!

This selection of pictures is from today's morning walk around the back of Demco and Simpson's beach.  Some of the best bird-watching in Broome happens around the sewerage ponds.
