It was almost 30 years ago (early 80's) since I went there and I honestly can't remember seeing them. This is partly because I was on an expedition and did heaps of things that normal "tourists" wouldn't have access to.
The early 80's was the start of the big boom up there so Broome started to change from then on and lost it's "out of the way" feeling.

However, in looking up Google, I see these pictures and they don't look that old !

As you say, lots of interesting things to look at. I didn't know bullet holes still existed but I did know that their are plenty of bits and pieces of planes around the area.

Also, don't forget that at Broome you have one of the best sets of Dinosaur prints in the world. Not just from one animal but a few different dinosaurs !

Anyone else got any good stories from up north ?
