Broome, a unique, exotic town that is the southern gateway to the raw wilderness of the Kimberley.

The town is a fascinating place with a mixture of cultures created by those who came in search of pearling wealth. Pearling still remains one of the town's leading industries.

Wander through Chinatown, the original commercial centre, which is now home to some of the world's finest pearl showrooms. Daily tours are also available to the Willie Creek Pearl Farm where you can see a working pearl farm and learn more about the many interesting facets of the pearling industry.

Broome is washed by the turquoise waters of Cable Beach, said to be one of the most stunning beaches in the world, it stretches 24 kilometres (15 miles) along the coast and features clean white sand and offers some incredible sunsets.

At Gantheaume Point nature has left a unique calling card. Dinosaur footprints, more than 130 million years old, can be seen at low tide embedded into the rock. It is also an ideal spot to view the red craggy cliffs of the Broome peninsula.

Just outside Broome is the Broome Bird Observatory where you can see the thousands of migratory birds that visit there from September to March. The Observatory is the most well regarded bird watching site in the world and should not be missed by visitors to the area.

Why not get in a relaxing game of golf at the Broome Golf Club, it's the only 18-hole golf course with grass greens between Geraldton and Darwin. After the game settle down for a cold beer at the 19th hole, this spot boasts spectacular views over Roebuck Bay and is a great location to view "Staircase to the Moon". All visitors are welcome.

Broome, a perfect getaway paradise on the West Kimberley coast.
