We keep hearing about the hits that the tourism industry has taken as a result of Covid lockdowns but it certainly isn't evident in the Kimberley. We've been staggered by the number of caravans on the road and Broome is packed.
North West of WA & Top end of NT is full of nomads. Alot of people escape from the eastern states before the lock downs, so that is way everyone is all here. Hope you are enjoying Broome.
Which is making up for last year when they had the intra-state lockdowns during their peak season. Glad they’re getting the business - glad I’m not in the crowds! Love the Broome colours. Take a walk along Gantheume Point for me Merrelyn 😄
I agree Merrelyn. Most of the parks were quite full during our red centre trip in April and May. I made a point of asking the parks how things had gone last year during the height of the pandemic and almost everyone said that it wasn't that bad and that they had managed quite well. The biggest problem seemed to be an inability to get staff due to the loss of the backpackers to fill positions.
You are probably safer in your part of the world than we are on the east coast.
