Why Broome? | The Big Reveal After 2,000km on the Road 🌊🐪 | Sailing with the Jameses (Ep. 149)

After 2,000 km of red dirt roads, boab trees, epic campsites, and crossing the NT/WA border, we’ve finally made it to Broome! This isn’t just the finale of our Darwin to Broome road trip—it’s also the moment we sit down and share the real reason we’ve come all this way. Spoiler: it’s not just for the mango beer or the camel races on Cable Beach (though they’re definitely a bonus 🐪🍺). We are travelling the final leg from Timber Creek where we left you last week to Broome, we are camping on the edge of epic cliffs with sunrise views, seeing loads of boab trees, including the Boab Prision tree in Derby, and stunning outback landscapes, and we are arriving in Broome and finally reveal why we’re here. If you’re new here, we’re a family of three who usually live full-time aboard our aluminum performance catamaran, but right now we’ve temporarily swapped the sea for the outback and are road tripping across northern Australia. Hit that subscribe button to follow along as we share the highs, the laughs, and the adventure—both on land and at sea. ----------------------------------- SV Emma James is for Sale!
