Broome

Broome is a coastal town in the Kimberley region of Western Australia, about 2,200 km north of Perth, famous for its rich pearling history and stunning natural beauty. It sits on the Indian Ocean and is best known for Cable Beach, a 22-kilometre stretch of white sand framed by turquoise waters and red cliffs, where camel rides at sunset are iconic. Broome has a multicultural heritage, shaped by its pearling industry that drew people from Asia, Europe, and Indigenous communities, leaving a legacy visible in its food, festivals, and Chinatown precinct. The town is also a gateway to the Kimberley’s rugged wilderness, while attractions like the “Staircase to the Moon” natural phenomenon and dinosaur footprints at Gantheaume Point highlight its unique character. Today, Broome combines a relaxed tropical lifestyle with a vibrant tourism industry.
