About Broome
Broome sits on Western Australia's remote northwest coast, where the 22-kilometre sweep of Cable Beach turns red sand against the turquoise Indian Ocean, famous for camel rides at sunset. The town's pearling history gave it a unique multicultural heritage, visible in its Chinatown lanes and corrugated-iron pearling master's houses, while nearby the "Staircase to the Moon" phenomenon draws crowds during certain full moons.
