The 10 Best Things to do Good for a Rainy Day in Broome, Western Australia

April 14, 2022 Darleen Reid

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.

This Centre is a wonderful collection of an enormous amount of information regarding the provision of health services by nuns at Beagle Bay. I spent a number of hours there and would certainly go back.

I've worn a pearl ever since my first trip to the Kimberley four years ago, but I never really knew how pearls were formed until I visited Cygnet Bay Pearls. The coolest thing is opening an oyster and grading a pearl through to valuation, I have a new found respect for the work and time that goes into the pearling industry. Good luck coming here and not walking away with a precious little treat. I managed to restrain myself on the day but I'm almost certain that a ring in the display cabinet has my name on it.

I am fascinated by this kind of art. The colorful paintings of James Down are amazing. The paintings of the Outback are magnificent. It's a fantastic gallery and a wonderful place to buy unique gifts and paintings. They also ship paintings overseas for a reasonable price. When I'm in Broome, the gallery is on the to do list.

Black Stump Gallery

ART + GIFTS INSPIRED BY THE KIMBERLEY Black Stump is an exciting new gallery by artist Emma Blyth dedicated to bringing you unique artworks inspired by the Kimberley. We exhibit a wide range of works by select artists in various media and locally inspired Australian made art and gifts. Visit Black Stump for your own piece of the Kimberley.

Reviewed By SelinaEstelle

We have followed this wonderful West Australian artist’s work for many years, and when we learnt she was opening a gallery in Broome I knew I had to include it in my recent holiday. Emma Blyth has created a beautiful space, with many of her own, incredible original artworks - reflecting the richness, vibrancy and uniqueness of The Kimberley - and also those of other local artists. As a totally unexpected bonus, she was in attendance at the gallery and was so gracious with her time as we asked endless questions about the origins and style of her work. There are a number of galleries in town, but this is by far the most clever and peaceful space, without the busy-ness and the obvious skew to tourism. From the beauty and originality of the purpose-built Broome-style building, to the colourful and inspiring art inside, the Black Stump gallery is a must for your Broome itinerary.
