Broome
The tourist town of Broome features the comforts of the big-city with international cuisine, fine arts and entertainment set in low-rise surrounds. The town also serves as a gateway for visitors on their way to the vast Kimberley region. Broome was established in the 1880s as a pearling centre by Japanese entrepreneurs with activity peaking in the early 20th century during which the town supplied 80% of the world's mother-of-pearl. Its historic and well-preserved town centre is the largest in the north Western Australian region and exudes a cosmopolitan vibe in combination with the area's typical laid back nature.
