And such a stunning location for it all.....enjoy...

































Janet and her friend Graham (right) were upstairs in the posh part - mmm - we were only in the lower level, with the mossies and so forth, but it was fabulous to be on ""ground level" and DB and I had a beautiful evening and birthday..... yay for my wonderful Husband. xxx

26 Jan 09 HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR DAVID, and look at what Broome put on for your birthday - half a million dollars worth of fireworks, and they were lit right just there, just in front of us in the mangroves, with Roebuck Bay and the Indian Ocean below and sparkling away......awesome.....
