BROOME, WA

Sitting high along the coastline in north-west Australia, Broome is one of the most beautiful places to witness the bright red soil of the Aussie outback, lying right alongside the vibrant turquoise water of the ocean and Roebuck Bay. The town is known as Rubibi in the language of the traditional owners, the Yawuru people. Its remoteness and distance from capital cities, compared to the East Coast, make it a little more of an expensive getaway and one that everyone seems to be saving for a special occasion. But more and more people are turning to their Aussie wish lists when they need a getaway. Lying at the base of the Kimberley, Broome is a great place for a weekend or the beginning of an epic adventure into the Aussie outback and wilderness. Surrounded by tropical waters and white sandy beaches, you can combine adventuring and exploring in the morning with relaxing by the pool with a cocktail in the afternoon.
