Have you ever wanted to climb a staircase to the moon? Many visitors to Broome are delighted to take part in this quest. In fact, it has become an integral part of Broome to see that amazing sight of the moon rising over the mudflats. The reflection of the moon on the undulating surface of the mudflats in Roebuck Bay makes a silvery pathway that seems to extend right to the moon. So after you get your Broome accommodation settled, be sure to go and check it out. Full moon times in March to October are the best time to see this phenomenon.
So what else has Mother Nature got in store for visitors to Broome? There are many wonderful attractions. This town is known as the pearling capital of Australia as in the old days many beautiful pearls were found in the pristine waters along the coast by brave divers. These days most pearls are actually cultured in pearl farms and you can go to these wonders of modern technology and see just how it is done. And of course there are many showrooms where dazzling pearls can be bought.
If you can tear yourself away from the white sands and turquoise waters of the Cable Beach, you might also want to go and view those incredible dinosaur footprints at Gantheaume Point. You can also ride on camels at sunset if that is your idea of fun. There is nothing like embracing all a region has to offer to make you feel part of it and upgrade your fun levels.
In fact, talking of beaches, many tourists think Bondi Beach in Sydney is spectacular, but when a beach extends in all its pristine glory for a whole 22ks, it outclasses everything. This is what you will find with Cable Beach.
There is plenty of choice when it comes to Broome accommodation, so no matter whether you are on a budget or prefer to stay somewhere that offers some luxury for your holiday you can easily find something to suit you. There are caravan parks, hotels and luxury resorts, along with bed and breakfast and holiday cottages all ready to enfold the visitor to Broome and make them feel special.
All you have to remember is to book early for the peak season between June and August. It may be winter everywhere else, but not in beautiful Broome where the weather will remain pleasantly warm all winter long.
