- Broome
- Overview
Broome holidays
Broome is a unique, exotic town and a gateway to the raw wilderness of the Kimberley. Established as a pearling port in the 1880s, Broome boasts a multi-cultural population made up of the many nationalities that flocked to the shores of Roebuck Bay in the hope of making their fortune from the pearling industry. Broome’s unique beauty needs time to explore. Pristine beaches and bays fringed with glistening white sands, red cliffs and the sparkling waters of the Indian Ocean are some of the wonders of this coastal delight. The climate is also something to boast about with warm sunny days, balmy nights and summer tropical storms during the monsoon season.
