Love how this is written đź‘Ź
It’s a great reminder that travel doesn’t have to be perfect or perfectly planned. We caravan for the experiences and memories — and those don’t come from waiting for the “right time.”
If we learnt anything through COVID, it’s to go when you can. Yes, things might cost more and look a little different — but the opportunity is still there.
And right now, places across northern WA, QLD and the NT would love to see you.
Take the trip. Do it differently. The time is right when you make it right.
Sometimes the best getaways aren’t meticulously planned… they are just a rash last minute decision based on need, want and impulse.
You just need to wing it - get away from the day to day grind.
It’s just a weird time to be alive. Early April had everyone watching fuel prices climb past $3+ and wondering what will comes next.
But quietly, without much noise, fuel prices have eased; supply is more certain - panic has settled.
So let’s look at were we sit as at:
(Sat 25 April):
ULP 91 – $2.049
ULP 95 – $2.179
Diesel – $2.592
Now not cheap… but not the impending doom & chaos the media scrum whipped up either.
Cancelled your Broome trip? - Reconsider.
Broometime 2026 is happening with or without you so pack your car or van and hit the road.
Don’t want to drive?
A quick check shows Qantas Red Tail specials from Perth at $518 return to Broome.
No big build-up. No six-month planning cycle.
Just book… hit pay and get going.
Because Broome has always been that kind of place.
A place where you step off the plane and things slow down almost immediately. Where the tides set the rhythm, not the headlines. Where a few days can feel like you’ve properly disconnected - not just relocated.
And maybe that’s the point right now.
Not to escape everything.
Just to step sideways for a moment and tune out.
Walk Cable Beach at sunset.
Sit outside in balmy night.
Wake up without urgency.
In times that feel a bit uncertain, sometimes the smartest move isn’t to push harder… it’s to pause.
And right now… it is closer, easier, and more affordable than you think to grab some Broome time.
