Full marks to Virgin Blue for the most entertaining flight I’ve taken in a long time. Not only did cabin crew randomly dress up like Guinevere with paper cup and toilet paper hats, but they also treated us to crazy games based on the theme of passing toilet rolls from one end of the plane to the other. I’m already looking forward to the return flight!

Ask almost any Australian where you should visit and they’ll tell you the place that they come from, or at least their state. Everybody is very proud of their own backyard and they aren’t shy to tell you about it. The other place they tell you about and the place that is mentioned on lots of TV adverts is Broome, a small town in the North-West that boasts one of the country’s finest beaches in Cable Beach and camel rides with extraordinary sunset views. Having lounged about in Perth waiting for a job offer to appear, I’ve decided I’ve imposed on my friends’ hospitality too long and I’ve just booked a flight up the coast to see if the adverts are right.
I’ll be staying at the Cable Beach Backpackers which is reputed to have a relaxed, friendly atmosphere and I’ll be staying for at least a week, after which time I’ll decide what to do next.
