Middle Lagoon.1. (180 klm North Of Broome).

Here we are at Middle Lagoon, approximately 180 klms north of Broome.  We have a spot on the top of the sandy cliff which is by the lagoon.  We spend our days watching the Hump Back Whales playing & feeding, some nights we also hear the Whales singing.  We are able to do lots of swimming here and the snorkelling is very good.  Some days we have to go out of camp to fetch fire wood, as we have a fire most evenings.  I have made 3 dampers, 2 were terrible and 1 was eatable. We have been here 2 weeks and we will be here until at least 27.08.12. The weather is 30 to 32 each day, not a cloud in the sky and occasionally we get a light breeze.  The sea is a light turquoise blue (as Moana & Southport on a good day).  This place is absolutely stunning and truly relaxing.  We have met with several traveller friends here, and the couple next to us were on the Horizontal falls trip with us (They have a boat) Steve has been very lucky and has been able to go out fishing in the tinny the last few days, to date they have seen Whales very close up, several turtles, sharks and many variety’s of fish.  They have caught Coral trout, lots of reef fish, Cobia (just over a meter long), so we are eating fish, fish and more fish. We have a big trip to Broome on Friday for supplies . Of course I forgot to mention the fires, which have been burning around us for several days, we think we are pretty safe here.
