Broome is a pearling town at the western gateway to The Kimberley region of Western Australia. The pristine waters, wide empty beaches, abundant wildlife, tropical climate and breathtaking colors attract thousands of visitors each year. Ride a camel along Cable Beach, shop for pearls in Chinatown, visit the dinosaur footprints or bird watch in Roebuck Bay. Soak up the Indian Ocean sunsets and catch the ‘moon staircase’ illusion on a full moon.
