25 and a half hours on a bus and I arrive in Western Australia into Broome. ... Broome is tiny and it's still boiling hot! The main attraction in Broome is the staircase to the moon, (my photo is a rubbish example, I suggest you google it!!!!) It occurs at certain times of the year and when it's a full moon and the tide is out it creates a staircase effect on the mud flats leading up too the moon. ... The other attraction in Broome which is a must is Cable Beach. ...

Sylvia's comments Our next destination is Broome which is often known as the southern gateway to the magnificent wilderness region of The Kimberley. ...

We head straight off to Broome some 400km to the west as fast as we can as we haven't booked accommodation and are getting conflicting reports as to what is available. ...

Aug 2, 2006 - Heavenly Broome

Whilst a bit out of the way for most people, Broome is a unique and very special place. ... Established in 1883 as a result of the advent of the pearling industry, Broome really flourished when in the three years between 1889 and 1891 the record high price of mother of pearl shell established the town as a port and major pearling centre. ... Whilst Broome has since become more of a tourist destination, evidence of the pearling industry can still be seen in the designer jewelry shops selling all things beautiful (and of course made of pearl) at exorbitant prices. ... We spent an idyllic few days in Broome browsing round the shops - far too boutique for us to enter, let alone buy from, but nice to window shop all the same, and sunbathing on the near deserted beach. ... To conclude I can only say that whoever wrote this was absolutely right! "Broome's flamboyant, varied and often dramatic history, and the many nationalities that have called it home, have shaped it into a city like no other in Australia. ...
