Broome

Broome. An exotic town and the southern gateway to the Kimberley region Broome should be on the “must do” list for any visitor to our north.

The towns mix of Colonial and Asian architecture is testimony to the multi cultural mix of the towns population many of whom can trace their roots back to when the town flourished as the worlds leading pearling port from where hundreds of sea going pearling luggers set out for the rich grounds offshore.

Today Broome is still a important port for the cultured pearl industry however tourism is now a major industry where magnificent beachfront resorts like the Cable Beach Club cater for visitors keen to switch to “Broome Time” an expression that best describes the layback pace of the place.

Broome offers the traveller keen to explore the Kimberley with the perfect base. Everything the traveller needs is available. The town is well serviced with more than a dozen flights from Perth and Darwin every day.
