Broome Western Australia - Tourist and Travel Guide

On the coast of the Top End is Broome, with Cable Beach - wonderful sunsets over the twenty two kilometres of white sand and crystal clear waters.

Many end up basing their exploration of the Top End of Western Australia here. Broome usually has balmy nights and warm days, but summers, December through February, can be hot.

Pearls

Broome started off as a pearling centre, with many of the workers coming from Japan, the Phillipines and Malaysia. There is still pearling going on there, but the tourist industry has thrived because the surrounding region has so much to offer in the way of outdoor adventure, abundant wildlife and spectacular scenery.

The remoteness of Broome, not only from the world but the rest of Australia has attraction for visitors. With its strong mix of residents from all over the world, both historically as a pearling centre but now as a tourist mecca, has resulted in a remote frontier yet multicultural town.

There is a delightful mix of buildings reflecting its history, while the town’s diverse multicultural roots have enhanced the quality, choice and mix of the local cuisine. Fresh seafood, as well as the local produce mixed with the many spices of India and Asia make for memorable dining.

If you wish to shop for pearls, Broome, logically, is an excellent place to be. Set in Western Australia gold or in a necklace, the pearls can come in an almost bewildering array of colours and sizes.

The Top End

From here you can see the Top End of Australia in all its splendour. There is some 22kms of sand and sparkling ocean at Cable Beach. Take a hovercraft to watch the sunset, ride a camel through the town and off to Cable Beach or take a scenic flight.

With vast untamed, rugged and very beautiful natural regions to explore, what attracts those with a sense of adventure can also be dangerous, always seek reliable local advice before driving through the remote parts.

Check with local authorities before swimming in estuaries, rivers and waterholes. Salt water crocs and freshwater Johnsons like living in them, some can be very hungry after a day’s trashing about. Jokes aside, if unposted, get advice and heed signs seriously.

Broome Day Trips and Kimberley Tours

Take a tour exploring the beautiful Windjana Gorge, Tunnel Creek and Geikie Gorge, where its possible to see the descendants of dinosaurs, crocodiles, in their natural habitat as well as the birdlife. There is a 4WD tour to Cape Leveque and Aboriginal communities.

At Geikie Gorge there is a great Aboriginal Heritage Adventure or go to Willie Creek Farm to see the pearling industry as it is today. Do try to get a visit in to the Aquaculture Discovery Centre or the Broome Crocodile Park before leaving.
