Broome Travel Guide

 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:  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,... 

 Lildeer Says:   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:  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,... 

 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,...
