Day 20 - Auto electricians and refrig mechanics

Today begins with an auto electrician at 7:30 in the morning.  He fixes a burnt out pin to the car, then we need to track down a refrig mechanic, to fix the fridge.  He can't look at the problem until after lunch so we kill time at Cable Beach until then.  We decide, if we are going to be stuck somewhere with issues, that swimming at Cable beach is a pretty good place to be stuck.  We hire boogie boards and the kids just have the best time.

My parents are also travelling around Australia at present, in the opposite direct to us, and the plan was to meet them in Fitzroy Crossing today, however, the fridge has to take priority as we don't know how serious the problem is or availability of parts, so we decide to get it sorted before we go any further.  However, the verdict isn't great.  Our element is burnt out but we not only that, we need more adequate wiring to the fridge as the wiring is not sufficient, so an even bigger job that can't be dealt with until tomorrow...................aaaaaggghhhh!!!

We can't seem to get away from Broome, we manage to find some overflow caravan parking for the night, luckily, as there isn't much around with Ladies Day at the races tomorrow.
