Broome BOUND

Your guide to driving through WA's coastal gem

- 

Known as Rubibi to its Traditional Owners, the Yawuru People, Broome was once a sleepy pearling town but is now bustling during the dry season (May to October), attracting travellers who are looking to escape the cold winter months in southern Australia.

With its warm air, blue waters and palm tree-lined beaches, spending time in Broome/ Rubibi feels like an instant holiday. From Broome/Rubibi, you can embark on a tour to the fascinating Willie Creek Pearl Farm. Broome is also the gateway to the Dampier Peninsula, a stunning region of remote beaches and traditional culture, and a great place to camp on the coast.

CAMP OUT

There are several caravan parks in Broome. Discovery Parks Broome is pet friendly, has waterfront sites and cabins, and is located on Roebuck Bay. Make sure you book ahead at discoveryholidayparks.com.au.
