Fishing at Pardoo Station Homestead beach



Pardoo is about 500 km south of Broome and we had been told that the Station Homestead was a good place to stay. It is a working cattle station with small caravan park plus accommodation for back packers and groups as a sideline. We found that many of the caravan owners are regulars who come every year and stay for up to 6 months. The big attraction is the fishing and we found people incredibly friendly and happy to share their fishing tips. So at long last we has some successful fishing expeditions and even threw back those we caught but didn’t need for dinner.
We meet many people who are permanently “on the road”, many having sold their homes and bought a big rig and some who go home for the summer and travel north in the winter - a tempting proposal. Weather here still nice and warm, the sea is beautiful but unfortunately no good for swimming, sea snakes and sharks!
