DEBBBEDB Says: This was the second stop on our cruise ship excursion. First they passed baby crocodiles around for us to hold, and then they took us out in the park. They fed the crocodiles and showed us how they jumped. They also had bats, kangaroos, wallaby's and dingoes. I loved the...
ettiewyn Says: Cable Beach somehow defines Broome. Of course there is the small town centre (China Town) with its shops, the museum and a few other attractions. But Cable Beach is like a small town on its own, and this is where most of the hotels and resorts are located. I spent most of my...
ettiewyn Says: Gantheaume Point is located at the southern end of Cable Beach, about 7km from the centre of Broome. Although this location is a little remote, Gantheaume Point is one of Broome's most famous attractions. One reason for this is that here you can see dinosaur tracks that are...
ettiewyn Says: China Town is actually the town centre of Broome. In my tips I always call it the "town centre" because that is how I thought of it, but its actual name is China Town, although it is just the usual town centre and not a chinese quarter like the china towns in big cities....
ettiewyn Says: The Pearl Luggers Exhibition is located in the town centre and consists of two historical pearl luggers that have been perfectly restored, the Sam Male and the DMcD. These luggers are original ships that went to sea, but are now permanently located in the town as a museum....
ettiewyn Says: Although Broome is quite small, it has a very interesting and moving history. Mostly this history is connected to the pearling industry.The historical museum is a traditional style museum and very old-fashioned, but I loved it. I usually like these small local museums very...

ettiewyn Says: I went to Broome by guided tour and there was the option of going back the very next morning on the tour bus, but I did not want to do this - I wanted to spend a little time here to explore the town. Thus, I needed to decide how to get back to Perth. Flying would of course...
ettiewyn Says: As Cable Beach is a few km away from the town centre, you will need to get from one point to the other (no matter if you are staying in the town centre and want to visit the beach, or if you are staying at the beach and want to visit the town centre to see the museum or to...
albaaust Says: This is a lovely shop to visit for the wonderful smells and oils. All the soaps are handmade in Broome. It is a little out of the way and it does close at 4.30pm but it is worth a visit.The shop does sell its soaps etc at the Saturday morning markets.You can also mail...
ettiewyn Says: Broome does rather consist of two different small towns: Broome town centre (also called China Town), and Cable Beach. They are about five km from each other. Thus, if you are booking your accommodation you need to decide where you want to stay - in the town centre or on the...
ettiewyn Says: Although I had already spent four months in tropical Cairns, including the beginning of wet season, and travelled around the Red Centre in summer, the climate in Broome hit me with surprise. In general, I was used to the tropical climate and Australian weather in general,...

A polarized filter (usually called a circular polarizer) on your camera lens will help boost color saturation, important when taking monochromatic pictures like blue sky above blue sea, and will also help to capture vibrant bright colours (like all those beautiful red...

If you are really going far afield, or venturing out in the Wet, consider renting a satellite phone. With limited fuel and supplies in this region, it could be a handy insurance policy to cover the unexpected.Rates start at about $21/day for short term, less expensive for...
ettiewyn Says: While I walked around Broome, I found this moving memorial to Hard Hat Divers. It is located in China Town and pays tribute to the thousands of men who dived for pearls when Broome was the capital of the pearling industry. They did so under great risks and often suffered...
ettiewyn Says: Cable Beach is so wonderful and so famous, that most people don't take notice of the fact that there are indeed a few other bays and beaches in Broome, among them Town Beach. This is a relatively small beach close to the Historical Museum. When I visited it was so hot,...
Gwynneth Says: 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...
ettiewyn Says:
On the last day of our ten day tour, we left Pardoo Station in the morning and then just drove and drove for hours, with only a few quick stops at road houses. In the early afternoon we finally reached Broome. It was a very solemn moment: During our journey of ten...
ettiewyn Says:
What I enjoyed most while staying in Broome were the two evenings I spent at Cable Beach. Although I did not see a proper sunset because it was always too cloudy, it was a very special atmosphere. Broome was just a unique place - this small beautiful town with its...
ettiewyn Says: I really wanted to travel along the west coast, but the problem was that I don't drive and did not want to hire a car with others. You can go by Greyhound bus, but like this you miss the most spectacular places, as they are off the road - Greyhound only stops in the towns,...
