Guide to Broome, Western Australia 

Mention Western Australia, and most Singaporeans will probably think of Perth, quokkas, and all things Margaret River. But if you’re after a more offbeat escape, let us introduce you to Broome, a coastal town in the northern part of Western Australia.

Here’s a quick history lesson: Broome was once a thriving pearling hub in the 1880s, drawing workers from Indonesia, Malaysia, China, Japan, and Europe. The result is a melting pot of cultures that still shape the town today, blended with Australia’s First Nations heritage. Known by its traditional name “Rubibi”, Broome offers a laidback oasis with super chio natural landscapes, a deep-rooted history, and just the right amount of rugged adventure.

If that sounds like your kind of trip, read on for our guide to Broome.

The current exchange rate is AUD1.18=~S$1 as of 3rd April 2025.
