Broome Australia, Information, accommodation.

Pearl Of The North West

Broome is situated on the Great Northern Highway, some 2300 Km ( 1400 miles ) north of Perth. This modern town is an increasingly popular tourist destination since it is ideally located as a base for exploring the Kimberley region, home of the Bungle Bungles and close to some wonderful coastland and beaches. The town is experiencing something of a boome as the Kimberley region becomes better known.

Magical Cable Beach

One of the most famous and beautiful beaches in Australia, Cable Beach, is close to the town and is a must if you visit Broome. Visitors become attached to the beach and often find themselves spending more time there than they expected.

Cable Beach is over 20 Km long and arcs around the shoreline forming a stunning ribbon of white sand fringing the turquoise sea and the trees and vegetation inland. There is a selection of resorts, bars and restaurants near the beach and in the town itself.

camel Tours

Camel tours operate and excursions on the White Pearl Lugger are available. Broome and its beaches are renown for being excellent places for shell collectors.

Pearl Farming

As Broome has a history of pearl farming it is possible to see working pearl farms in action and to even purchase the end product! Even today, the town is still one of the world's major pearling centres. Boat, plane, fishing, 4WD, horse and even camel and hovercraft excursions can all be taken from Broome into some stunning national parks, coral reefs and coastal scenery. It is also possible to see dinosaur footprints nearby when the tidal conditions oblige.
