Considered a Broome ‘must’ document, before I set out to drone, photo etc…its the sexy “Times and Heights of High and Low Waters” A4 sheet the Visitor Centre gave me. It confirmed that the morning needed to be spent in galleries. 🙂

So I discovered the Short St gallery exhibition, “Pink is Punk: Pink Bits from Across the Lands”. In modern history, pink has been a divisive colour – simultaneously evoking feeling of repulsion and attraction. Symbolising the feminine and docile, while also being underground and risque. In recent years, pink is being reclaimed. In remote contemporary Australian art practice, pink is gutsy and badass, a celebration and rebellion. The gallery has brought together works from around Australia – pink bits that are pretty, powerful and punk.

Friend Bev in SA, will go Gaga #*^{+!!, when she sees this: https://artbyfarquhar.com.au/collections/janice-stanley

I visited the delightful Anastasia’s of Broome and purchased some lovely earrings – peacock coloured Tahitian South Sea pearls. Will complement the ring I bought in the Abrolhos, perfectly!

The Broome Gallery shows off the etchings of James Down….such a talented artist, using brilliant colours and a sense of humour, to feature the Kimberley and Broome. Oscar, his dog, is a star!

There’s a unique experience that some visitors to Broome sign up to…a camel ride on Cable Beach at sunset. I had my unique camel experience in the Moroccan Sahara, so left camels well alone this time. Instead, walked across the rocks and beach to position myself to take photos of those lucky others…hahaha. Some nice shots but not ‘special’.

Reddell Beach is a favourite with Broome locals, with stark contrasts of red pindan bordering white sandy beach.There are unusual rock formations with intricate erosion patterns along the pristine stretch of beach.

And you have to be a local to find the tiny road that leads to Simpsons Beach, tucked in behind an industrial complex. Tide was really out but still found a couple of great shots to take.
