Weird & Wonderful Australia Number 5

The staircase to the moon is a natural spectacle that occurs in the northwest region of Broome between March and October each year. The full moon rises over the exposed mudflats of Roebuck Bay at low tide creating the optical illusion.

Qantas to fly direct to Broome from Brisbane

Qantas passengers will be able to fly direct from Brisbane to Broome from Sunday.


The four hour flights will operate between the destinations each Thursday and Sunday.

The Broome International Airport Chief Executive Nick Belyea has asked Qantas to keep the fares competitive and hopes it will boost tourism.

"I've spoken to people in Queensland and they say Broome's a destination we haven't been to but gee it's a long way and it takes a long time to get there," he said

"So this will hopefully change their minds and [they will] think well ok we can handle a four hour flight to Broome and go and see the Kimberley."Source http://www.abc.net.au/ direct link http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2011/03/31/3178622.htm

Hello World

Hello World

Welcome to our brand new blog on Broome & The Kimberley.

Broome & The Kimberley is a unique destination that simply offers something for everybody.

Our tropical climate makes Broome the perfect option for those who seek relaxation in the sun all year round. With 22 kilometres of pristine white sandy beach, Cable Beach is firmly entrenched in the top 5 beaches in the world for very good reason. Our nightly sunset rivals the very best available, anywhere in the world.

For those more adventurous the waters off Broome are teaming with fish that could have you catching Reef, Game or Sports fish, diving with sharks, cruising at sunset or watching the migrating whales frolic.

With all this seafood and the unique cultural mix of people the food is something to behold.

Experience the breathtaking gorges of The Kimberley, immerse yourself in Australian Indigenous culture, travel the outback, cruise our stunning coastline or the Rowley Shoals.

If you have never been to Broome we hope to see you soon and to those who have we know we will see you again very soon.

Our website will be launched in February 2010 and will provide the most comprehensive guide to air travel, accommodation, tour options, Restaurants, Shopping and attractions all at your finger tips.

Until then I wish you all a very Merry Christmas & Safe and prosperous New Year.

Signing Off, Regards Glenn
