23 Aug 08 SHINJU MATSURI - Broome - 22 - 31 August 2008 - The Festival of the Pearl - yay - its party time in Broome, and guess what.........we be going to as many events as possible, just like Carnivale`in Port Douglas but with a multicultural and Kimberley twist. So, we start with the Rotary Dragon Boat Regatta .......... the signage is fab don't you think. Dumb old margo didn't know what Dragon Boats were, but now she does. The race was fun, with amateurs tipping over and heading in totally the wrong direction, and the life savers doing their bit to "re-direct" those wayward paddlers and save them from a trip to Perth ?!?!?! The poodle of course had a ball with the children and found herself playing with the local and community children..............all in all a good time had by all...
