 Description of Broome

This town is often called the gateway to the Kimberley and was founded as a pearling port over a century ago. This industry still remains a vital part of Broome and proudly produces some of the worlds finest pearls. This charismatic town is set between a large red desert and a beautiful blue sea and lies alongside an amazing pure white beach landscape. Since the early days of pearling, Broome has become a harmonious melting pot of many nationalities.
