Broome in Australia's north-west boasts natural beauty including world-famous Cable Beach, and a thriving multicultural community, arts and tourism.
The Shire of Broome is a local government agency, whose essential roles include looking after: community services, recreation and entertainment, refuse collection, houses, buildings and town planning, libraries, local roads, parks, gardens and "green space".
The Shire of Broome is located in the south-west Kimberley in the far north of Western Australia and covers approximately 56,000sqkm, boasting a coastline of 900km which includes the world-famous Cable Beach.
Broome has experienced rapid and continued growth over the past decade to become one of the fastest-growing towns in the State.
The town is full of charm, right on the Indian Ocean's doorstep. From its colourful, romantic past to the cosmopolitan character of Chinatown, to the turquoise waters, red sandstone cliffs and the endless expanse of white sand at Cable Beach, the colours and moods of Broome abound.
Broome has many attractions, including the 130million-year-old dinosaur footprints at Gantheaume Point, the lively Courthouse Markets on Saturday mornings, the natural phenomenon of the Staircase to the Moon, guided tours into the history of Broome's pearling history, Willie Creek Pearl Farm - the only pearl farm in the Kimberley that is open to the public, and the Broome Bird Observatory.
With its tropical climate, multicultural community and its many natural attractions, Broome is the gateway to the Kimberley.
