Nestled in the North West Corner of Australia and hinting a slight Asian influence the once pearling town of Broome is now a popular tourist attraction where red soiled earth meets the clear blue sea. Broome is scattered with eco-resorts, aboriginal influences, art galleries and natural beauty that invites visitors from home and abroad to experience all year round. This Western Australian City sits on the edge of the large Kimberly region and was historically the largest pearling location in the world. Today Pearling is still a major part of what makes up this destination. It's hard not to appreciate the natural beauty and relaxed pace of Broome. Nothing like the hustle and bustle of city life in the states capital Perth, it is the type of destination that you can go to relax, admire and unwind. Cable beach, a 22km stretch of white sandy beach and crystal clear ocean will be the multipurpose highlight of your stay in Broome. You can experience the most beautiful sunset in the world whilst riding a camel along the beach in the cool evening breeze a true testament to beauty of Australia's natural wonders. You can also venture out on Jest ski or explore Cable Beach by boat cruise either way you will soon realize why this is one of the best beaches in the world. Dating back 60 thousand years, Aboriginal rock art is displayed in its natural environment in Broome and surrounding areas. This cultural icon displays Aboriginal art works discovered by Joseph Bradshaw in 1891 which depict various forms of cultural symbols and religious beliefs, truly an attraction to be seen. Heading down to Roebuck bay between the months of March and October you may be lucky enough to view the stair case to the moon. This amazing natural optical illusion can be seen during the night only 3 nights of the month when the tide in the bay disintegrates below the mud flats and creates what looks like a staircase leading up to the beautiful full moon. Exploring the urban areas of Broome you will experience shop fronts decked with pearls, the obvious souvenir item for any visitor to Perth and a variety of Aussie style pubs and restaurants offering the most beautiful fresh produce on offer from seafood to prime Australian Beef. Warm all year round this tropical and cultural destination is undoubtedly one of the most unique Australia's West Coast has to offer. |
