Staying in broome

Thanks Broome Time

You were spot on , out of all the van parks I rang Broome Vacation Village were very helpful and sorted my booking on the spot. They were a bit surprised about all the others wanting 7 day bookings. Thanks again.

Regards Ross

I hear what you are saying but if I wanted to spend a week there I would fly.
Like yourself it is a long drive to get there but would rather spend my time in the Kimberley and other areas.
Regards Ross

To be fair, our problems at Broome were made worse because we were travelling with a dog, and no-one wanted to know us. We ended up a couple of nights at the Roebuck roadhouse CP (not to be confused with Roebuck Bay CP) which was very basic. We were very happy with the Kimberley Entrance CP at Derby before that, and then we stayed at Port Smith CP which we also enjoyed.
We did a number of our Western Kimberley things from Derby, including the Horizontal Falls flight (sheer magic!!) and a trip up to Bell Gorge, Winjana, etc. (left the van and dog behind and camped).

Tenpounder,

Travelling with your dog would be much easier than travelling with Ross H, trust me on that. Caravan parks in Broome have just heard about this guy before he rang hehehe.

Listen Trevor, I'd rather make my own enemies, thanks. I have nothing against Ross H (yet). But when you can't even let your dog have a leak on half the foreshore, well, that's enough!!
I wonder how Ross would take to being left at a kennel for four days! Might do him good.

"can't even let your dog have a leak on half the foreshore"

Jeez they're really going to love Ross with his Friday night habits hahahhaha.

As for the kennel bit, it would just make him feel at home as he is always in one at his place anyway.

Cheers, Trevor.

Alot of parks around Oz dont allow dogs.

I dont blame them either.

Who wants turds all over the place, bleep on everyones tyres, dogs barking all night and day, possibility of kids being bitten, ticks/fleas throughout park, holes dug, bones left laying around, lizards killed, etc etc.

Not saying you or your dog would do any of the above, but even as a dog/animal lover i understand the reason for these rules. Its the minority who ruin it for the majority you know that. Cant go letting in small dogs, and not big mean looking dogs, because they all have different personalities. Some animal owners have no idea. The amount of times i have nearly been bitten by dogs running free at the beach, i tell ya, the owners dont value there dogs life as much as i value my ankles. Never mind when there are kids around, i wouldnt hesitate to put a dog down if it bit me. No matter how serious, and i wouldnt hesitate in roughing up the owner either.

In order to maintain a safe park they have to make these rules. And they have to apply to all dogs across the board.

Same can be said about people's children I guess.

I remember when we were at a caravan park in Kununurra and our lovely neighbours let their children poo and wee under a tree between both sites just as they were leaving the caravan park.

I also remember them yelling at 2 in the morning (these children were between 10 and 14 I would say) and waking a lot of people up the night before they left.

I wish I could put down some people's children. And the parents themselves.

Perhaps they also need rules that apply to all children too?

HaHaHa what can I say Trevor knows me well.......:)
The funny thing is he still goes camping with me......now that is a true mate..?
Now all I have to do is leed Bob astray in June.

P.S You can always tag along with us on the next trip Trev...Oh thats right you have to woooooork........ROFLMAO.

Rossco

What do they say about "Birds of a feather"?

Young Roofscooter would definately be in the same flock too I reckon.....it's just the Old Roofscooter that you have to lead astray nowadays hahahahha.

Have fun you lucky barstool, you know I would love to be tagging along.

Cheers, Trevor.
