Cable Beach is one of Western Australia's most popular beaches and one of the most compelling reasons to visit Broome.  Camel treks on the beach at sunset have always been a favourite for visitors.

Sitting just 18 degrees from the equator, Broome has a year-round warm and tropical climate, which encourages relaxation and an outdoors lifestyle.

This exotic town was once the pearling capital of the world and drew its population from a range of nations including China, Japan, Malaysia and the Middle East whose people flocked to the shores of Roebuck Bay in the hope of making a fortune. Some did and others weren't so lucky, but this colourful history has resulted in the multi-cultural feel Broome has today.

At Sun Pictures, the oldest operating picture garden, visitors enjoy a movie from a deck chair under the stars. This open-air cinema has withstood the ravages of war, cyclones and king tides to become a distinctively Broome experience.

The climate has played a major role in the architecture of the town.  Many of the older buildings have wide verandahs, fine latticework, shutters and corrugated iron roofs to allow cooling breezes to flow through, as well as to cope with heavy rains.

Inland from Broome, the rains provide some incredible natural scenery including the thundering power of the waterfalls in the east Kimberley.

The cascading waters of the Mitchell Plateau and King George Falls are perhaps best accessed by air. There are several local aviation companies operating from Broome and Kununurra which offer a range of scenic aeroplane and helicopter flights, including tours over the World Heritage listed Bungle Bungle massif in the Purnululu National Park.

A stay in Broome can prove that an adventure holiday doesn't necessarily mean roughing it. Vivid sunsets, a balmy climate make Broome the ideal spot for some serious relaxation regardless of whether you are staying in a backpacker lodge or a five star resort.
