Typical Itinerary
Day 1
Arrive in Broome and collect your rental vehicle.
Overnight: Rendezvous Sanctuary Resort, Broome (pictured) for 2 nights
in a studio room. This new resort is superbly located just a short
walk from the pristine sands of Cable Beach, and just a 5 minute
drive from Chinatown and the heart of Broome. |
|
Day 2
You are at leisure to explore Broome and the surrounding area. The world's largest pearl shell was discovered at Roebuck Bay in 1861. Broome quickly experienced a 'pearl rush' of fortune hunters from Europe and the East. Remnants of Broome's exotic past remain. Lord Alistair McAlpine, a British MP, fell in love with Broome, and invested very heavily in the town during the 1980s, yet still preserving the multicultural influences and pioneering tropical ambience.
Today, Broome's Cable Beach (pictured below) is one of the most famous
beaches in Australia, if not the world. |

El Questro Wilderness Park is a million acres in size and a working
cattle station with a herd of approximately 5,000 head of crossbred
Brahman and Shorthorn cattle. The park's employees have collated data on
