Broome is a unique town, on a peninsula, in far North-Western Australia, where one of the world’s last great wildernesses meets the Indian Ocean. Broome’s exotic pearling town past has left a rich history and a unique multi-cultural mix of people.
Our pristine waters, wide empty beaches, abundant wildlife, tropical climate and breath-taking colours attract thousands of visitors each year. There is so much to see and discover, so many unique, ‘once in a lifetime’ experiences.
Broome experiences a tropical climate, which is considered as hot/semi-arid. There are two seasons, the wet and the dry.
Broome's dry season (usually from May - October) is made up of warm days, balmy nights and perfect holiday weather most of the time. This is considered the 'peak' season for Broome and is traditionally the most popular time to visit.
Broome's wet season (usually from November to April) brings rain, hotter weather, humidity and from Jan-March monsoonal weather. Broome's tropical summer season does have it's benefits and the colours of the sunsets have to be seen to be believed. More and more visitors are coming to experience Broome in the tropical season months to enjoy the quieter season where tourist numbers are typically lower (and often you can get great deals!). Broome is also the best place to venture into the Kimberley and experience the waterfalls flowing! The build up of humidity creates the perfect environment for mind blowing lightning shows and spectacular sunsets. Daytime temperatures during ‘the wet’ are in the mid 30’s, with the overnight temperature averaging around the mid 20’s.
The Yawuru people are the Native Title holders for the townsite of Broome, which has over 84 Aboriginal communities located in the Shire of Broome, with 78 classified as remote.
