Overview

Broome, known as Rubibi by the Yawuru people, is Western Australia’s largest Kimberley town with 14,660 residents recorded in the 2021 census. Its coastal setting offers a vibrant lifestyle centred on tourism and pearling heritage – from four first‑class hotels and two modern caravan parks to a lively café, bar, restaurant and curio‑shop scene. Families and visitors enjoy the Sun Picture Garden, the town’s open‑air cinema, a bowling club, a golf club and a range of sports teams, while cultural events such as the Shinju Matsuri festival celebrate the town’s multicultural roots.

Transport is anchored by Broome International Airport, the regional gateway to the Kimberley, and a 35 km sealed road linking the town to Highway 1. The TransBroome public bus (route 890) connects Cable Beach and Town Beach, with service expanded in 2026. Housing ranges from historic grid‑pattern homes and contemporary subdivisions to accommodation in hotels and caravan parks, reflecting steady growth since the 1980s.
