Everyone has a favourite myth about hair care, and we usually never let the truth get in the way of a good legend! Excessive washing of hair causes hair loss/drynessFALSE: Frequency of washing doesn’t harm hair. Blow-drying can damage, burn or dry hair, which can cause it to fall, but the hair will grow back immediately. Sleeping with wet hair causes scalp fungusFALSE. Sharing combs and brushes can spread scalp diseasesTRUE.Lice and other parasites can be transported from scalp to scalp through the sharing of combs, brushes and other hair care tools.8. This common misconception comes from the fact that hair is thicker at the base than it is at the tip, so shorter hair appears thicker at first. Plump up your hair by using volume enhancing hair care products, experimenting with a hair fattening blunt cut or getting a texturizing perm or color treatment.9. Most hair coloring products contain chemicals that can do serious harm to the hair itself if not properly used, but it wont instigate hair loss.10. The scalp usually recuperates, though, and hair grows back14. Even worse, smoking has been conclusively linked to accelerated hair loss.SUMMARYHeard another myth about hair?

We covered the 400 kms in relatively short time, the road being, as usual, dead straight for most of the way, and with few other vehicles on the road we reached Broome just after noon.We had always planned that Broome would be our next major stop on the road to Perth and we intended to stay about 10 days. And of course it was time for some serious relaxing on Broome’s famous Cable Beach.Broome was originally established in the late 19th century as a centre for pearl divers who operated in the rich oyster beds in the area. In recent years Broome’s warm winter climate and beautiful beach bordering the resplendent Indian Ocean have resulted in the small city becoming a major tourist destination in the winter months. So we unpacked and then headed off to the supermarket to stock up on groceries.Our park was just across the road from Cable Beach so after our shopping expedition, we walked down to an access path through the dunes and on to the famed stretch of sand. Cable Beach is named for Australia’s first international telegraph cable that was run from here to Java in Indonesia. The golden beaches in Queensland had been wonderful but this beach, like all west coast beaches, is white sand and the water is crystal clear and the most brilliant blue The beach sloped gently down to the sea where small waves broke on the sand, leaving a sheen reflecting the azure sky as the water retreated from the almost-flat sand. Most of the time there is ample room for thousands of sun bathers that flock to the beach in the high season, but now it seemed almost deserted as a couple of dozen shade umbrellas dotted the immediate vicinity with less than 100 people scattered around the beach.We set down our towel and started in for our first swim in the Indian Ocean. After frolicking about in the waves for a while, we took a long walk north along the beach which stretched as far as we could see. I must say, the camels do present a fine sight as they plod along the sand in the glow of the setting sun.The sunsets over the sea are stunning and most days we are on the beach or on the short esplanade on the dunes backing the sand to watch the sun melt into the ocean. But at least we had an air conditioned roof over our heads for our last three nights!We soon got into a pretty laid back routine in Broome, pottering around the town and lazing on the beach. Here’s her account of the trip…..Pearling is a major aspect of the history of Broome, and pearls being fascinating anyway, I thought it would be worthwhile to delve into this a little more so signed up for the tour to the Willie Creek Pearl Farm. By the 1950’s due to the invention of plastic, the demand for mother of pearl for buttons had plummeted, but by then a Japanese fellow was perfecting a method of growing cultured pearls, and set up a business here. Part of the tour included a detailed technical session about how the pearls are seeded with a bead, an intricate procedure requiring the motor skills of a neurosurgeon it would seem, and an explanation of the different kinds of pearls that are cultured here. Finally, with fingers crossed, the technicians examine the oysters and if all has gone according to plan, a beautiful large, lustrous, round pearl is the result.After a very nice afternoon tea (no tour is complete without tea here, and this was the best yet, real coffee (instant is the norm) and delicious apricot damper bread), we were taken out on a boat to see the longlines where the frames are hung and have a demonstration of the cleaning, as well as a nice little boat ride around the creek. There are several of these in Australia and the one here in Broome, the oldest in the country, is in the middle of China Town, the main shopping area in Broome. We have seen prettier beaches in small tropical coves ringed by palm trees, as far as a long stretch of white sand, Cable Beach ranks right up there. Our car on a deserted stretch of Cable beach taken from a distance with a closer picture following.Taking a camel ride down the beach is one of the famous attractions here Sunset is the best time to take a camel ride along the beach.There were some great rock formations at the south end of Cable Beach.You can drive along the beach for miles. Here we are at the south end of Cable Beach near the lighthouse and rock formations.The earth around Broome is a stunning burnt red color as evidenced by this road construction area. Everyone drives a 4WD with a large roo bar on the front, but you can also get a latte at a street side cafe in the shae of the palms.Rob and friend…a statue of a pearl diver from years pastSue took a trip to see the modern pearl farm in operation. It was 4WD access so she joined a tour which took her north of Broome for a tour of the pearl operations, including a boat trip out to the oyster beds. The road north to the pearl farm shows a typical dirt road in the Broome region.There were spectacular sunsets on the beach each night…here are a few pics…
