Broome is the most populous town in the Kimberley (Western Australia) | Kimberley region of Western Australia, serving as the gateway to explore the whole northern coast of the state. The town was booming due to the pearling industry that has been discovered in the late 19th century, enticing Europeans and Asian labourers that now make up its multicultural population.

Broome Halal Travel Guide

Broome is located at the northern coast of Western Australia, midway between Darwin at Northern Territory and Perth and the capital of Western Australia; it's still a long 2,000 kilometers from Broome to both city's!

The town has a permanent population of 14,000 inhabitants; that number grows more than twofold during the dry season as Australians from south of the city flock over to enjoy the weather and the outdoors. Hotels and camping grounds can easily be fully booked.

The town has an interesting history based around the exploits of the men and women who developed the pearling industry, starting with the harvesting of oysters for mother of pearl in the 1880s to the current major cultured pearl farming enterprises. The riches from the pearl beds did not come affordable and the town's Japanese cemetery is the resting place of more than 900 Japanese divers who lost their lives working in the industry.

How is the Climate in Broome

Broome's climate is similar to that of the Australian northern coast. 80% of its annual rainfall falls during the rainy season (December to April) and tropical depression or cyclones are not uncommon to graze or make landfall along the Kimberley region coast every year. It's also warm and humid with high temperatures around 32 degrees Celsius.

The tourist season is during the dry season (May-October) where hardly any rain falls and the temperature is a tad cooler with lower humidity; resulting in a much more comfortable condition to get outdoors.

Get Around

Broome is spread out, with the beaches, lookouts, shops and restaurants up to around 5 km distant from each other. Cable Beach is quite removed from Chinatown and the Town Beach area, so you'll have to give some consideration as to how you are going to get between them. When you are thinking that through, make sure you think about the weather at that time of year - as even short walks in very hot weather can be difficult.

By foot

It will take you the best part of an hour to walk from Cable Beach to Chinatown and it's hot.

Travel by Bus to Broome

  • The Town Bus runs regular services connecting Cable Beach to downtown and Chinatown. Every half an hour in the dry and every hour in the wet. It is a popular service, used by visitors and local residents. The drivers sometimes shout out the stops as they pass, but they are always happy to give directions and to assist when they can. Usually runs to time (traffic delays aren't common in Broome).
