Many people dream of taking an exotic vacation to one of the most beautiful and exotic destinations in the world, Broome Australia, however they may think it’s too far out of their reach. In 1629, Dutch explorer Dirk Hartog made landfall at what would later become known as Broome’s Cable Beach. In 1938, gold was discovered in Kimberley and by 1939, Broome had a population of 8,000 and the Wild West of Australia was born. Today Broome is a modern holiday spot with bustling markets and luxurious resorts.
The amazing outdoor activities
If you are seeking adventure, then Broome will not disappoint. From ziplining over crocodile-filled rivers to diving with sharks and swimming with dugongs, there’s no shortage of memorable experiences to be had. For those looking for a peaceful getaway from it all, however, Broome has some beautiful beaches and an abundance of natural wonders to enjoy too. If all else fails you can also try fishing, which is one of Tasmania’s most popular tourist activities.
Where to stay in Broome
Broome offers a wide range of hotels, from luxury resorts to budget motels. For a home away from home, check out Paspaley Pearl Beach Cottages. It has an on-site restaurant and bar, private beach access and an enormous swimming pool. These help make it one of Broome’s most luxurious hotels.
Activities
