Visited a pearl place and we did say to the women when we went in that we were only looking as I have more than enough pearls from living in China. I did note that the nicest pearl that I have, (Warren chose it) is a single pearl with a silver mount on a leather strap, was around about the same price here as he paid in China, just the numbers. XXX yuen as opposed to $XXX here in Broome. here at this gallery they have a resident jeweller who can set the pearls however wanted but there was a heap of choice, all white (Australian) with some black pearls which come from Tahaite.
These are some shots that i took this morning in downtown shopping centre, Chinatown. A lot of wood painted red, nice large trees for shade. Heaps of cafes.
This was my first trip to Chinatown, I have been going to the other shopping centre which has Target and Woolies.
The caravan park where we are based in about six kilometres out of town and both centres are about the same distances away depending on which roads taken. The GPS takes us one way in and another way out, it is a strange way to arrive in town as it is not direct and seeming at times turning away but that the way the roads go.
We also visited the Sandalwood place here, this is connected to the Sandalwood factory that we saw in Albany. No factory here just a store but much of the sandalwood is produced here in the Kimberly.
