Broome may refer to:
Broome’s streets still echo the romance of its pearling heyday. A self‑guided stroll from the low‑lying gorge of Gantheaume Point to the colonial‑era Chinatown reveals the layered architecture that foreign divers, Japanese entrepreneurs and Indigenous families left behind. Look for the weathered ironwork on the old Broome Tramway remnants, then duck into the tiny cafés that line the north‑side foreshore, many of which are run by descendants of the original Malay and Japanese labourers. The contrast between the rust‑red sandstone buildings and the turquoise Indian Ocean makes for an informal history lesson that guidebooks often gloss over.
While Broome’s tide‑pools attract daytime crowds, its surrounding desert opens up a celestial arena once the sun sets. The best months for a clear sky are from May to September, when the monsoon has retreated and humidity is low. Pack a lightweight blanket, a simple red‑light headlamp and head north along the Great Northern Highway to the remote stretch near the Tindal Hills. The absence of artificial illumination lets the Milky Way sweep across the horizon, and on particularly dark nights the Southern Cross is a reliable compass for impromptu night‑photography. Combine this with a late‑night coffee at a local roadhouse for a uniquely Australian nightcap.
Broome’s food scene is a quiet convergence of its desert hinterland and coastal bounty. While the town’s famed chicken and chilli sauce remains popular, adventurous eaters can seek out a micro‑brewery that experiments with camel milk ciders, an homage to the region’s pastoral past. Simultaneously, the Chinese‑influenced market stalls along Fanny Avenue stock dried seaweed harvested from the Kimberley reefs, often served with a squeeze of local lime. Pairing these unconventional flavours with a glass of Australian Shiraz creates a palate experience that reflects Brothe’s multicultural roots without the tourist‑track hype.
