If you are up in the northern part of Western Australia then Broome is worth a visit. Originally known for its pearling industry, Broome has developed a lot over the last forty years and is still growing fast. With a tropical climate of wet and dry seasons, the dry season in Broome is from May to November and the wet season, with high humidity, is from December to March.
Go the 22.5 kilometre Cable Beach - with white sand and amazing clear blue water it is stunning and famous for a reason - if you are into nude beaches there is an area for that too, up the north end of the beach towards Willie Creek. If you go to Cable Beach from November to March however, then you must be aware of the jellyfish. If you want to see the beach in a more relaxing way than walking yourself you can actually get on a camel ride, a Cable Beach tradition. Beautiful at sunset and something of a must, it is a really fun
experience!
There are a lot of different tours and sights to see in Broome, such as experiencing and learning about the aboriginal culture, 4WD-rides (if you decide not rent your own), boat cruises in the crystal clear waters and much more.
It is usually easy to find a hostel, but be aware that tourism in Broome is increasing every year, and during the peak tourist season the population in Broome can triple, from 15,000 to 45,000 people.
