Broome

Broome is full of history and characters born out of isolation and initiative and has a heritage unlike that of any other town in Australia with the beauty of the surroundings to match its remarkable story.

The town grew out of the discovery of the world’s largest pearl shell, attracting hundreds of people like a gold rush. The pearl industry slump mid last century was not enough to drive them away and they remain captivated by the Broome’s natural beauty and laid-back atmosphere.

The same spirit that attracted pioneers over a century ago still brings people today, elegant international jewellers seeking our world famous pearls, gritty station hands coming in for supplies, international travellers and locals seeking to sell their home made wares at the Kimberley’s largest art and craft markets and those who wish to do what Broome is most famous for, soaking up the ambience and experiencing a more relaxed way of life.
