Broome, Western Australia

introduction

Broome is a remote sub-tropical beach town / resort in remote far north-west of Australia, surrounded by desert and to the north, by the remote tropics of the rugged and beautiful Kimberleys
it was once primarily a town based on its pearling industry but now is mainly a tourist destination thanks to the Cable Beach Resort and the fact it is a great place to use to explore Australia's top end
it has a lovely long beach and riding camels at sunset is a popular tourist activity
for those interested in understanding the remote origins of the earth, this region has many geological sites thanks to the relatively undisturbed land.
it is also very nice for astronomy, especially in Winter
you can book a seaplane to take you on half-day or full day flights to the Horizontal Falls and other scenic wonders to the north, alternatively, try Kimberley Aviation
you can go on a fishing charter or try your hand at game fishing with Makaira Game Fishing, or try a more gentle sail on a Pearl Lugger sail boat
200km from Broome is a working pearl farm open to the public - the Cygnet Bay Pearls
there is a Day Spa at the Cable Beach Resort as well as a few high end restaurants including the Sunset Bar and Grill which is on the beach so you can watch the sun set
alternatively have lunch or dinner and try the range of local beers at Matso's Brewery
and on those warm balmy nights with clear skies you can book a session with the local astronomer who is very entertaining and has many telescopes for you to explore the night skies with his guidance.
