Day 66 –
Gnylmarung – Day trip to Cygnet Bay Pearl Farm
It took us
40minutes to get out to the main road, then 1.5 hours to get to Cygnet Bay,
which had a variety of tours on offer around their pearl farm. We chose a 1 hour land-based tour, and it was
super-interesting, learning how cultured pearls are farmed, and learning about
natural pearls (Keshi – 1/10,000 oyster shells have these apparently).
We drove up to
Kooljaman afterwards, hoping to book into a tour tomorrow, but the next
available tour wasn’t until Wednesday, when we’ll be going back to Broome to
get the air-con fixed. Never mind, we’ll
put that one on the retirement list :) By the
time we got back to camp again it was quick swim, dinner prep and bed.
