Booming Broome doesn’t disappoint
Restrictions on travel make it a great time to visit the tropical Kimberley town, writes MAURINE JARVIS
On my 90th birthday, a lovely present arrived in the form of a refund for a holiday two daughters and I had booked, flying to New York and cruising, finishing up in Rome.
My youngest daughter proposed we go to Broome for four days — a good idea.
We booked into a lovely two-bedroom apartment at one of the many resorts. My first morning was not exactly as I had planned. Coming down a flight of stairs at the resort I miscounted on the last two, tripped and fell on my face.
