Broome at a glance
Broome is exotic, beautiful and tropical.
It's a destination in its own right and you could easily spend a couple of weeks exploring and be kept busy every day.
The first thing that strikes you is the vivid colour. The soil is very red because of the high iron level. There are a lot of red sculptural rocks along the coastline. The water colour is a distinctive blue green. As you drive in and around Broome you will notice these stunning colours as well as a distinctive tropical architectural style unique to Broome.
There is a lot of fascinating history in Broome. The Indigenous people have lived in the area for thousands of years and their ancestors still live in Broome to this day. Historically, the pearling industry attracted people to the area. Migrants from many different cultures came to Broome to work in the pearling industry and ended up staying.
There are many Broome families with Dutch, Japanese, German and Chinese ancestry. This cultural mix creates vibrancy and contributes to why Broome is a place like no other. The Indigenous people also have cultural connections to the pearl shell as it was traded between groups.
There is a wonderful little museum in Broome where you can explore and understand the history of Broome. It is well worth a visit, so set aside at least a couple of hours to get the most out of the displays.
Broome enjoys a festival. These are an opportunity for visitors to join in the celebration of the strong cultural connections that make Broome such an interesting place. The Shinzu Matsuri festival of the Pearl is held every year. Another regular event is the Staircase to The Moon where everybody watches a special event which lights up the foreshore of Roebuck Bay. You'll see a series of steps created by the moonlight. Please refer below for specific dates and times.
It's nice to visit the local night market, buy some delicious local food and sit by the bay. It can be a postcard moment. You can sit watching as the sun drops into the Indian Ocean and camels stroll along the beach. That particular Broome scene is world famous. Experiences like these are a celebration of nature. The whole beach is full of people standing in awe as they watch the sunset and take photos.
Roebuck Bay is really important from an ecological perspective. Long ago the Fitzroy River flowed into the ocean and deposited silt which is a very dense grey. It is quite hard to walk in this thick mud. It contains all sorts of food and crustaceans for the migratory birds that visit each year. Roebuck Bay is an important fish and bird habitat. The waters have an abundance of marine creatures including the snub nose dolphin, fish, rays, sharks, sea snakes to name a few. The humpback whales come in every year and give birth to their calves in the warm water. We've seen a baby whale frolicking around his mother as she slept. It was a highlight.
You can also see landmarks from prehistoric times in the form of many ancient dinosaur footprints. These tracks have been incorporated in traditional Aboriginal Dreamtime stories. One tale features Emu Man who walked the coastline. His journey forms a songline. This tells the story of how the natural world was created. It is possible to see some of the dinosaur footprints when the tide is exceptionally low.
There is so much to see and do in Broome. The colours are dazzling. The people are friendly and hospitable. The history is fascinating. This is the reason why Adventure Wild start and finish our tour in this special Kimberley town.
