Broome

25.5h on the bus (I thought only 24h, but there was a 1.5h timezone change too). There was some chinese chick who did not know where to go and was reading a chinese guidebook. we dumped here into the travel centre at Katherine (which I had been to last week on the way through on the train). Its still a public holiday here so everything seems to be closed, but thats OK because its a little bit too hot to go out anyway. My room has aircon, at least, but only at night time so its no good to retreat there in the peak of the day's heat - four of us just did that and then after a few hours emergered into the coolness of the day's heat. This place is $1 for 10 minutes of internet, and needs dollar coins so only $1 worth of net for me today. I managed to do some laundry before I'd run out of clothes! I am impressed with myself. On the bus, I ate some crackers with seaweed on, and chips at every roadhouse. mmm.
