Cable Beach? Stop torturing me! 15 miles of white sands, and no one in
sight. Keep an eye on the tides, though, as they can fluctuate several
meters in a day and strand you in a bad way. If there's a really low tide,
try for some pictures of the old flying boats still out in Broome harbor,
leftover from the 1942 air raid. Traversing the Gibb River Road?
