Trip Planning & Itineraries

Sunny. Extremely hot.
7 day forecast »
Although a mere pinprick on the colossal north Western Australian coast, Broome looms large in the Australian psyche. Broome is synonymous with exotic, tropical beaches and the outdoors.
Western Australia's isolation has served it well in the case of the north's largest town, helping to preserve Broome's frontier feel despite a well-developed local tourist industry. Gourmet restaurants, all-star resorts and the nouveau riche have detracted from its outback appeal, but instead you'll find a unique culture unlike anywhere else in the state.
4WD Aboriginal Community Adventure
From USD $238.97
Journey to the tip of the Dampier Peninsular and experience the coastal wilderness of Cape Leveque & local Aboriginal communities. Combine a 4WD adventure & scenic flight before heading back.
A historical gem
Established as a pearling center by Japanese entrepreneurs in the 1880s, Broome soon attracted communities of Chinese traders and Malay divers, with the latter joining many local Aboriginal people in the dangerous side of the business. Pearling peaked in the early 20th century, when the towns 400 luggers supplied 80% of the worlds mother-of-pearl. Today only a handful of boats still operate, with pearl farms having largely replaced open-sea diving.
