So I am in Broome at the moment. Technically it is a work trip, but due to semi-predictable circumstances I haven’t been able to head out bush in the past week. As a consequence, I’ve been making the most of my time here buy going to some of the events that form part of the Broome Shinju Matsuri Festival which opened last night with a whole lot of speeches and a performance by Sammy the Dragon!

Being in Broome I’ve also done a few other essential things, like going to the beach, so life is tough.

Here are some snap shots of my “work trip” so far.

Sammy the Dragon

Sammy the dragon asleep. Wait till he wakes up. He is huge!

Lots of people at the Broome Festival

Oldest outdoor cinema in Australia. Pretty cool I have to say! Watch out for mozzies though!

Sammy the Dragon at the Shinju Festival is huge, and has glowing eyes!

Oh and here are some photos of the beach…
