marylonghorn: Broome time

Broome, Western Australia: my current home.
This is a small, relaxed, beach town, where the phrases, "no worries, mate," and "it's all good" are freqently spoken by both friendly locals and visitors alike. Being on "Broome time" means taking it slow, no hassles, and no pressure. Lots of people come here to visit, and end up getting sucked into the "Broome time" vaccuum, staying for weeks or months at a time.

A few quick facts about my new town:

It's home to less than 12,000 permanent residents. In the dry season, however, the population swells to about 50,000!
Broome has a tropical climate, which means that there are only two seasons: a wet and a dry. We're in the dry season now, and I haven't seen rain (and rarely, clouds) since I arrived almost one month ago. Average high temperature here during the day is about 30 degrees celcius (86 F). Perfect!
The main beach here is Cable Beach, a five minute walk from where I currently live. See the pics below. Over 22 k long, with white sand, clear water, and beautiful rocks, I have to say I am spoiled to be able to visit almost every day! This white girl even has a tan! :-)
Main activities here:

Swim/sun at the beach.
Sunset at the beach (around 5:30 every night)
Night beach parties (sensing a theme here?)
Hang out at Divers, the local pub
Go to the outdoor cinema in town, one of the oldest functioning cinemas in the world
Tourist stuff: ride the camels, visit the pearl farms, visit the wilderness/crocodile park
