About Broome Broome is located 2,240km north of Perth and has a permanent population of 14,436.
Broome promotes a relaxed and easy-going lifestyle, with nearby shopping centres, Sunday markets as well as a broad range of restaurants and entertainment options.
It is founded on the traditional lands of the Yaruwu people and is rich in history, culture and beautiful surrounds.
Broome has a deep history in the pearling industry, spanning back to the 1800's, with memorials throughout the town to commemorate those lost in the early years of pearling.
Cable Beach is also a must-see, being named in honour of the Java-to-Australia undersea telegraph cable that reaches shore there.
You can explore its beautiful scenery with a bit of 4WDing at low tide, or you can even take a camel ride every day at sunset!
Roebuck Bay is known as one of the most beautiful beaches that surrounds Broome, with its "Staircase to the moon" phenomenon drawing food and craft markets each time it occurs.
The combination of a receding tide and rising moon create a natural phenomenon that can only be described as breath-taking.
