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.

This Centre is a wonderful collection of an enormous amount of information regarding the provision of health services by nuns at Beagle Bay. I spent a number of hours there and would certainly go back.

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)

Reviewed By LaurenEPBath - Gold Coast, Australia

I've worn a pearl ever since my first trip to the Kimberley four years ago, but I never really knew how pearls were formed until I visited Cygnet Bay Pearls. The coolest thing is opening an oyster and grading a pearl through to valuation, I have a new found respect for the work and time that goes into the pearling industry. Good luck coming here and not walking away with a precious little treat. I managed to restrain myself on the day but I'm almost certain that a ring in the display cabinet has my name on it.

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.
