Broome Information
Considered by many as one of the most beautiful parts of Australia, it is difficult to pinpoint what is best about Broome, a place where bright red dirt meets pure white sand. Broome has had an amazing history-established as a telegraph cable station and base for pearl shell merchants in the 1890s, attracting pearl divers from China, Malaysia, Indonesia and Japan. The 22 kilometres of Cable Beach is a sight to behold, with different areas to cater for every liking, including beaches for families, nudists, camel rides and four-wheel driving.
The western coast is also known for its dinosaur fossils, and there are some great footprints just off Cable Beach that an only be seen at low tide or when diving. While in Broome, visit the local pearl farms and the numerous Aboriginal art galleries in town, or go fishing from the jetty at Roebuck Bay. At sunset, ride a camel over the sand dunes and along the beach, then sip a cocktail at the Sunset Bar in the Cable Beach Club.
For a truly unique Broome experience, head to Town Beach to witness the phenomenon called 'Staircase to the Moon', where the moonlight shines on pools of water and creates the illusion of stairs leading up to the moon... absolutely magical!
