Broome, Western Australia. This town oozes with excitement and culture. It's a secret paradise on the shores of the Indian Ocean. It is the gateway town to the world's last frontier of pristine wilderness - Australia's North West.
As the pearling capital of the world, the town has two major trades, pearling and tourism.

Boasting dozens of amazing attractions, in particular Cable Beach, with it's tropical blue water, Broome is a truly remarkable and beautiful town. We urge everyone to experience it's magic.
