Tour by air-conditioned coach for an introduction to Broome as only the locals know it.
The very essence of Broome is found in its extraordinary natural beauty. Famous Cable Beach, whose name derives from the telegraph cable that runs from here to Java, is 13 miles of powder-white magnificence. Notice the brilliant colors that make the scenery here postcard-worthy and quite unforgettable.
Learn about the town's diverse history and culture with a visit to the Japanese and Chinese cemetery -- quiet homage to the people whose lives were at the very foundation of the pearl industry.
Spend some extended time at the Broome Historical Museum and discover how the world-famous South Sea pearl is cultivated and harvested. The museum's Cygnet Bay Pearling Pioneers exhibition showcases the good, the bad and the ugly -- a full and raw look at the industry upon which the fortunes of Broome rose and fell.
Notes:
