Matso's
by iandsmith
This place has a bit of legend status amongst the locals and rightly so. Though it is a well known hotel these days it was originally a bank! I'm sure there's some irony in there somewhere, I just haven't thought of it yet.
After its life as a bank ended it actually became a general store but it wasn't where it is today. No, it took the legendary Lord McAlpine to move the entire building to its present location where you can sit and reflect while you have an ale today. Beside the pub there's a wonderful gallery with a quality eclectic collection of works. Whatever your choice in art, you're bound to find something here to interest you.
Fishing Broome Style
by Gwynneth
The fishing is great in Broome so board a fishing boat and go catch your dinner off the shores of Roebuck Bay or Cable Beach. Soon you'll be lining up a catch of Barramundi, Queenfish, Mangrove Jack, Trevally or Salmon. Try your luck! What have you got to loose... you're on holiday... relax :o)
If deep sea fishing isn't your thing then try your hand at landing a big one from the Port of Broome’s Deep Water Jetty.
Broome Bird Observatory
by Myndo
The Broome Bird Observatory is located out of the town.
10km out of town you turn to the right on a gravel road. 14 km later you arrive at the beach and the Information bureau.
- I think they are also excursions out there, but we had our car.
Take a binocular with you and enough time and patience. Also, don´t forget the sunscreen and a hat. It can be quite warm here.
They have a lot of birds, but they are not exactly waiting for you :-)
There are also several trails you can make, that will explain you some of the plants and trees in this area.
People and fish watch

Broome Port jetty
This was actually quite a relaxing thing to do. After having a light lunch at the Wharf we walked down the path then crossed over the road in front of the check building through the gate where there is a ramp where lots of people were fishing. We went in the afternoon and even though it was quite hot elsewhere on that ramp in the shade it was cool. What was interesting is that you could see lots of fish. Not many people seemed to be actually catching them!!
Laze around at Cable Beach
by albaaust
Cable Beach it seems is the beach to be seen at. The beach itself is sparkling clean and a huge expanse of white, hard sand.
Be prepared to see some "expanses" of nude bodies!
You can hire sun lounges and umbrellas during the peak season.
