Overview

Broome sits on a north‑south peninsula in the Kimberley, with Roebuck Bay and Town Beach to the east and the iconic 22.5 km stretch of Cable Beach just 7 km away. The tidal “Staircase to the Moon” draws a night‑time food and craft market to the shoreline, while the nearby Broome Bird Observatory and a 50,000‑strong flying‑fox colony make wildlife viewing a daily pastime. Residents and visitors alike enjoy world‑renowned sailfish fishing, lawn bowling, golf, and the Sun Picture Garden, the world’s oldest open‑air cinema, plus a vibrant dance scene through the local Marrugeku company.

With a 2021 population of 14 660, the town provides six schools, a hospital and a range of heritage‑listed community facilities. A 35 km bitumen link connects Broome to Highway 1, and Broome International Airport serves as the north‑Western Australia tourism gateway. Over recent decades tourism and pearling have spurred diverse housing development, from town‑centre homes to beachfront accommodation, supporting a lively, multicultural lifestyle.
