We were lucky enough to have a fantastic and intimate tour through Mirima National Park with local legend Ted Carlton. We learned about the local flora and fauna, the history of the land, and saw a number of historical rock paintings up and close. Afterwards, Ted and his nephew Milton took us through the art centre to explore the history of the artefacts, taste some baobab fruit, damper and bush honey (incredible!). To top it all off, Ted played us some didgeridoo as we sat around the table. An incredible experience, I'd do it again in a heartbeat.

What an amazing gallery and what wonderful people involved. Could not believe how accomodating and friendly everyone was, the most amazing art ever and Mark himself very happy to chat and discuss his history and activities within the local community. He is so obliging to the local indigenous community and they are just a wonderful family all around.. (Adds to the wonder that he supports Geelong in the AFL as well-Go cats)

So many pearl shops to choose from in Broome along with pearl farms to visit, this shop is right next door to the Visitor's Centre and local bus stop so easy to visit and lots of jewellery to choose from including pearls of course. Very friendly staff and a wide range of prices.

Broome Gallery

Original artwork created by local Broome artist James Down. Come down and see James painting on site and have a personalised artwork created just for you! Also available locally produced homewares (Coasters, Placemats, Pencil Cases, Stubby Coolers, Wine Coolers, Magnets and much more)

Reviewed By EdiBa683 - Switzerland, null

I am fascinated by this kind of art. The colorful paintings of James Down are amazing. The paintings of the Outback are magnificent. It's a fantastic gallery and a wonderful place to buy unique gifts and paintings. They also ship paintings overseas for a reasonable price. When I'm in Broome, the gallery is on the to do list.

Visited by chance and walking through Broome. The photos on show really capture the natural beauty and colours of the region, and you can see why Yane has won many photography awards. Bought one of his photos of Cape Leveque. Would recommend a visit.

Black Stump Gallery

ART + GIFTS INSPIRED BY THE KIMBERLEY Black Stump is an exciting new gallery by artist Emma Blyth dedicated to bringing you unique artworks inspired by the Kimberley. We exhibit a wide range of works by select artists in various media and locally inspired Australian made art and gifts. Visit Black Stump for your own piece of the Kimberley.

Reviewed By SelinaEstelle

We have followed this wonderful West Australian artist’s work for many years, and when we learnt she was opening a gallery in Broome I knew I had to include it in my recent holiday. Emma Blyth has created a beautiful space, with many of her own, incredible original artworks - reflecting the richness, vibrancy and uniqueness of The Kimberley - and also those of other local artists. As a totally unexpected bonus, she was in attendance at the gallery and was so gracious with her time as we asked endless questions about the origins and style of her work. There are a number of galleries in town, but this is by far the most clever and peaceful space, without the busy-ness and the obvious skew to tourism. From the beauty and originality of the purpose-built Broome-style building, to the colourful and inspiring art inside, the Black Stump gallery is a must for your Broome itinerary.

Short St Gallery

Reviewed By Dernierecri - Melbourne, Australia

Short Street Gallery is without a doubt the most important indigenous gallery in WA, if not Australia. They source amazing work from across the country, including Tiwi, and show the diversity and sophistication of indigenous art in Australia. They represent significant Kimberley artists and you can see local work here. They also have a large stockroom at Town Beach where you can view and purchase works. This year they were lowish on stock from the artists I love in the East Kimberley, so I left empty handed for the first time. Back soon I hope!

Suzy French Art

A landscape artist of over 15 years I work with oil paints on canvas and Aluminium panels. My work is held in collections across Australia and overseas. I have a beautiful working studio gallery and welcome visitors to come and view the collection or book a time to paint with me in 'The artist hour'.

Reviewed By AussiesOver55 - Perth, Australia

Suzi French is an incredibly talented Broome artist who also offers art classes. Today my husband dropped me off at her Gill St Gallery for my Artists Hour booking. I was thrilled with the experience and the unexpectedly excellent outcome of around 90 minutes with Suzi, and her thoughtfulness at taking these photos. It experience was so good, I will book another!
