Here's a scan of a photo of yours truly at Cape Leveque, that's the old restaurant with the lighthouse in the background.

I lived and worked up there for 3 years (94-97) at Cygnet Bay Pearls which is about 20mins away on the King Sound side of the peninsular. Back then it was a 3 hour trip from Broome on a good day if in the dry season with a freshly graded road, the longest i did was 8 hours near the end of the wet, no bitumen then lol...used to head over to Leveque on most weekends, beautiful spot.

Talking to some locals they are loving the lack of cruise boats they have there community back and it's laid back lifestyle, they said internal tourism has made up the dollars lost, not sure how long that will last tho.
Yep Tonz it was quite but that was Wednesday arvo around two. Cheers

The old, lumpy Rakaia Bridge was always a favourite for us.

Ya see all of them 15 Thanks you got!....well that photo has taken everyone of them individuals back down some " great fantastic memory lane " in their heads of when they were young and fast and foolish, a time when mates really were mates and all girls were fair game....

Yep same here,the 650SS leaning up against shed was built in the lounge after the old girl decided enough was enough and departed years earlier,myself and the old fella didnt get on in later years but have to say the time spent with him mucking about with that bike was pretty special times for a young fella,fwiw after the Commando was sold he had a couple of Bevel drive Ducatis the first a silver/Blue 900 is imho the most beautiful motorcycle ever built not to mention the sound outta Contis.

After zooming in I note what looks like a Susuki Carry out front and the Tilers Toyota Dyna (Diahatsu Delta) further in, possibly Holden 6 powered by that era. Sillycar alongside the fence.

Nice angle parking BTW, wonder what smashed the screen. bricks ??
