I stayed 2 weeks in Broome<\/strong> with Kay and Stefan after the departure of Ewan, Sophie, Caroline, Sarah and 3 news guys to go up to Darwin. Here is my point of view about this town:<\/p>\n

\"feeling-dirty-after-work\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Broome isn\u2019t the biggest town of Australia. Indeed there is only 18 000 inhabitants<\/span> and the town is very spread out <\/span>(we needed more than 4 5 hours to go and return from the City center to the port). But just after the Wet season, everything changes in Broome. In April<\/strong> a big flow of backpackers start to come and the population doubles<\/strong>. Some fishing boats<\/strong> are looking for young men to complete their crew to go on the sea for 2 to 6 weeks<\/span>, sometimes up to 8. Prawning, Pearling, Fishing you will have the choice. This year the wet season was really quiet<\/span> and the sea market doesn\u2019t expect a huge turnover like last year<\/em>. Meanwhile you can easily find a job in town<\/strong>: Car washer, gardener, cashier and earn easy money (I was paid: $ 20h to give a hand two times with Stefan).<\/p>\n

The weather is really warm often without wind<\/strong>. Sometimes it was hard to go outside for shopping at Coles because we couldn\u2019t breathe. You have to wait the night to do something<\/strong>. And you have good things to do!<\/p>\n

\"staircase-to-the-moon_broome\"<\/a><\/p>\n

2 days after the full moon, you might see the stair case to the moon<\/strong>. It\u2019s a \u201cMoonrise\u201d than you can see from Town Beach<\/strong>. We saw it Sunday, the 28th<\/sup> of April with Kay and Stefan. It was fantastic to see the moon slowly going up in the starry sky. But the first part of the show is more wonderful with a weak orange halo becoming stronger and stronger just before to see the top of the moon<\/span>. We were stunned but unfortunately it\u2019s hard to get a great picture with every detail.<\/p>\n

Just after this event, Stefan proposed that we hitch hike back to the hostel<\/strong>. I\u2019ve never done that before and I was excited to try!<\/p>\n

.<\/p>\n

After 10 minutes with the thumb up a car picked up us and we escaped a long 30 minute walk<\/span>. We appreciated it a lot, especially Kay who hasn\u2019t long legs!<\/p>\n

\"cable-beach_broome\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

On Thursday night<\/span>, you have the wet T-shirt competition<\/strong> in a club in Chinatown<\/strong>. Girls can go on the stage to dance with their t-shirt completely wet (most of the time without their t-shirt) and the winner earns $ 500 cash<\/strong>! It\u2019s a good time for girls and boys too!<\/p>\n

On Saturday Night<\/span>, you must (yes YOU MUST!) go to Cable beach<\/strong>. All the backpackers are there having a huge party on the sand, with a big fire and a DJ with his turntables on milk crates<\/span>, with a generator for electricity and 2 speakers\u2026 It\u2019s like a small spring break every Saturday<\/em>! True story.<\/p>\n

.<\/p>\n

.<\/p>\n

Saturday and Sunday you can go on the market but this one is not really exceptional, not for me anyway.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately all good things come to an end, just as the road trip did. Kay left on Wednesday with a lift to Darwin and Stefan found a job on a fishing boat.<\/p>\n

I decided to leave the town and try hitch-hiking alone to Darwin<\/strong>! This is gonna be terrifying and awesome!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
