Broome’s famous Cable Beach, named after the telegraph undersea cable that was laid in 1889 to enable communication with England via Singapore, stretches about 23 kilometres-14 miles. The first creek to the north is Willie Creek and we often visit it on the south side when we monitor the breeding pairs of Pied Oystercatchers.

Another interesting bird we flushed up was a male Red Junglefowl , a bird that Mike saw in Singapore recently and even chose as his bird of the year. Both are common, really common, and both are essentially indistinguishable in non-breeding plumage. Next we drove to the local bird breeding centre.

Our location meant that during the height of the pearling industry here the Pearling Masters sent their “whites&# to be laundered in Singapore by sea, as that was the fastest option! They will feed up there and then head north to Siberia to breed. We avoid wearing white nowadays, as the pindan red sand is not white friendly!
