Discover Broome (Rubibi): Where the Outback Meets the Ocean Welcome to Broome (Rubibi), a captivating coastal town where ancient landscapes blend seamlessly with modern charm, and the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean meet the red ochre of the outback. This unique destination enchants visitors with its breathtaking scenery and rich pearl-diving heritage.

Located just a two-and-a-half-hour flight north of Perth, Broome (Rubibi) has long drawn people from around the world. In the 1800s, pearl divers from China, Japan, Malaysia, and the Philippines came seeking the treasures of the South Sea, giving rise to the vibrant, multicultural community that thrives here today.

Explore the western gateway to the Kimberley, where you can cruise through pristine waters, ride camels along the beach at sunset, and uncover dinosaur footprints etched into the ancient rock. Cruise to a working pearl farm or browse the sparkling showrooms of Chinatown for a one-of-a-kind keepsake.

If you're visiting between August and September, don't miss Shinju Matsuri—Broome’s annual Festival of the Pearl. This celebration of the town’s diverse heritage brings together Aboriginal culture, culinary delights, and community spirit in a colourful, lively display. Immerse yourself in the stories of the Yawuru people with an Aboriginal guide, and experience the region’s art and culture at one of the Kimberley’s renowned galleries, where generations of tradition are captured on canvas.

Nature lovers will be drawn to Cable Beach, a sweeping 22-kilometre stretch of white sand and stunning coastal views. Wander barefoot along the shore, gaze at the crimson cliffs of Gantheaume Point, and marvel at the ancient dinosaur tracks left behind millions of years ago.

As night falls, head to Roebuck Bay for the magical Staircase to the Moon—a natural phenomenon where the rising full moon reflects on exposed tidal flats, creating the illusion of a glowing staircase reaching into the sky. Visible from March to October, it’s an unforgettable sight. Only a few days a months
