Norval Gallery

Derby's Norval Gallery is run by a Kimberley artist husband and wife team Mark and Mary Norval. The gallery showcases their own insightful work as well as the artwork of many indigenous artists from the amazing Kimberley region of Western Australia. All of the artists are happy to talk about their unique artwork and are willing to share their painting techniques and ideas whilst being watched at work by visitors to the gallery. Other must see highlights of the gallery include, Australia's best historical carved Boab Nut display, an extensive collection of rare and beautiful sea shells and locally designed Boab tree inspired jewellery. For the music buffs there is a collection of 5000 of the best LPs ever recorded. The Lonely Planet Australian travel guide for 2012 rated Norval Gallery as one of its top 60 "top choice must see" destinations Australia wide. The gallery is closed during the months of November December and January

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)

Sun Pictures Cinema

Reviewed By Aussie64555 - Perth, Australia

Last visited Sun Pictures in 1994 when the movie was Jim Carey in The Mask. Halfway through the movie there was a rumbling which got louder and louder and next an aeroplane was right overhead appearing to just clear the screen and so low you could see the passengers !! On our recent visit only a small aeroplane passed overhead, but first thought was the noise was part of the movie until you looked skywards. History abounds once inside Sun Pictures with old technology on display along with old cinema posters of vintage stars. On our first visit notice the locals took cushions and rugs for sitting in the then, deck chairs which have now been somewhat updated, but in the same style. Remembering the cushions and rugs, "borrowed" two cushions and pool towels from our hotel to make the great experience even more comfortable. Two visits to Sun Pictures this time, one to see a very old movie Casablanca and the other Bran Neu Day. Would definitely go again on a future visit to Broome

Emma Gorge

Reviewed By loveindo - Broome, Australia

Access in to Emma Gorge is along a short track where this year 2 shallow stretches of water had to be crossed to reach the Resort parking area. Emma Gorge Resort is part of El Questro Wilderness Park & boasts lovely gardens , glamping tents & luxury accommodation as well as Emmas Restaurant & a pool. Casual dining, coffee & snacks available as well as souvenirs. Plenty of parking & nice clean public toilets. There is a reasonably easy start to the challenging Gorge walk where the creek is crossed in several places & some climbing is involved but as long as you tackle it with decent walking shoes & plenty of drinking water people of any age & reasonable fitness should manage. Turquoise pool is easy enough to reach & swimming is possible here. The rest of the walk to the waterfall is only a little bit further on. The towering cliffs surround this chilly waterhole that rarely sees much sunshine. After a fairly dry wet season the waterfall was still running, only a narrow stream, but running none the less. Lots of people were braving a swim in the cool pool but it is actually a nice spot to just sit for a while before heading back down to the resort. The return walk seemed a little less daunting somehow. But icy cool water provided on the verandah of the resort & lush green grass to loll on for a while saw us recovering quickly enough.

Great place to visit when in Broome. Kids loved the baby crocodile experience and wow they have quite a few more crocodiles in there since the last time we visited which was when the croc farm was in cable beach!!!! The tour guides are great and very knowledgeable. Good way to experience. part of the Kimberley experience and gain a respect for the crocodiles
