Situated in north Western Australia, a two and a half hour flight from Perth Broome and the surrounding region is full of colour, culture and captivating scenery. Fiery red ochre cliffs contrast with the unspoilt turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean, dinosaur footprints tell secrets of ancient days and a multi-cultural population provide arts, performances and irresistible cuisine.
Broome is also the gateway for the spectacular Kimberley Region – one of the world’s last frontiers – an unspoilt wilderness of rugged gorges, waterfalls, Aboriginal rock art and a special place for the Aboriginal people.
