Broome and Northern Western Australia

Broome is primarily a pearling and tourist town in the Kimberley region of Western Australia. Broome is approximately 2200 km north of Perth. The year round population of Broome is approximately 14,500 with this number tripling during tourist season. Broome is situated on a north/south peninsula and has water on both sides of the town. On the eastern shore are the waters of Roebuck Bay and west is Cable Beach.

The popular Cable Beach is situated 7 km from Broome. Cable Beach is 22.5 km long with beautiful white sand washed clean daily and the water is crystal clear turquoise. Cable Beach is home to one of Australia's most famous nudist beaches. Located directly east of Cable Beach over the dunes is Minyirr Park. Cable Beach was named after the telegraph cable laid between Broome and Java in 1889.

Roebuck Bay extends from the Main jetty at Port Drive to Sandy Point to west of Thangoo station. Town Beach is part of the shoreline and is popular with tourists. Roebuck Bay is of international importance for the millions of shorebirds. The Broome Bird Observatory on the northern shore of Roebuck Bay was established by Birds Australia to study these shorebirds.

Broome has a semi-arid climate and has two seasons: a dry season and a wet season. Broome's dry season is from May through November and the wet season extends from December through March. Broome has grown and diversified due to the West Australian mining boom of the 1960s, as well as the growth of the tourism industry. Broome is also one of the fastest growing towns in Australia. It is in this region you’ll be captivated by the Bungle Bungles, Lake Argyle and a host of hallmark landscapes and activities.

Ningaloo Reef is one of the most reliable places in the world to see one largest, most mysterious and gentle creatures known, the whaleshark.
