Broome
Very well-known for its pearl farms, pearls have been cultivated there since 1880. At the beginning of the century, it was considered the world capital of the pearl industry. Many attractions draw visitors from around the world: Cable Beach for long walks at sunset, Gantheaume Point to observe the famous dinosaur footprints, or the Malcolm Douglas Crocodile Park.
