THINGS TO SEE IN BROOM

HERE ARE A FEW OF OUR FAVOURITE LOCAL ATTRACTIONS

Coastal Scenery

The coastline of Australia's North West near Broome is quite breathtaking with notable landmarks including Gantheaume Point with it's dinosaur footprints and Anastacia's Pool. The contrast between the tropical blue water and the pindan coloured rocks lining the shore is a great sight. The coastline is populated by snubfin dolphins and is a hotspot for humpback whales which you can see on a cruise with Broome Whale Watching Charters

Japanese Cemetery

The final resting place for over 900 Japanese pearl divers, this site is a testimony to the perils of the early pearling days when many divers were lost to the bends or sharks in their search for pearls. Walk through the grounds to find impressive gravestones with Japanese writing.

Moontide Distillery

 

The spirit of Broome. Native botanicals are the essence of our gins and spirits. Provenance, passion and purpose guide us at Moontide Distillery. Knowledge of native and local botanicals gained from those who’ve walked the ancient pindan soils of Broome and the Kimberley have enabled us to crafaft unique flavours within our spirits. Locally sourced Gubiny (Kakadu Plum) and White Berry Bush infuse our spirits as well as native myrtles. Adding complexity and distinction to our gins & spirits are tamarind and mango bought to our shores by seafaring traders. View more details.

A bit of Broom's history

Founded by Sir Frederick Napier Broome on November 27, 1883, Broome's pearling industry peaked before World War I with 403 luggers. After the war, Japanese crews took over the industry. Broome was attacked in 1942 by Japanese Zero fighters, destroying 16 flying boats. After the war, cultured pearls revived the industry, earning over $50 million annually by the 1980s.
