Top Things to do in Broome
What to do and see in Broome, Western Australia: The Best Things to do
The beaches of tropical Broome aren’t just beautiful—they’re historic. The white-sand Cable Beach is named for an undersea telegraph cable that was laid in the late 1800s, connecting Broome to Singapore. A short hop over the dunes is Minyirr Park, and, on the eastern shore, Town Beach is home to a famous natural phenomenon, the Staircase to the Moon. Time-travel to the prehistoric era by heading to Gantheaume Point to check out 130-million-year-old dinosaur footprints.

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

Broome town beach is a fantastic way to entertain children for a morning or afternoon activity. There are two playgrounds including a water playground which is fully fenced and next door to a cafe so you can grab a coffee. There’s also a good CrossFit gym equipment set up in the park. Lots of water fountains and toilets nearby.

My wife and I took a self drive trip to the 12 Mile Bird Park while visiting Broome. What a gem? This a collection of magnificent birds in a quiet very well managed set up. Obviously the collection is dominated by Australian birds but there are some birds from other locations. The structure of walk and the information provided is very good and the most pleasing was the cleanliness and condition of the enclosures and the birds. If you have any interest in the terrific bird life of Australia this is a “must do” when visiting Broome
