Top 10 Budget-friendly Things to do in Broome, Western Australia

December 27, 2021 Stefan Strunk

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.

Sun Pictures Cinema

Reviewed By Aussie64555 - Perth, Australia

Last visited Sun Pictures in 1994 when the movie was Jim Carey in The Mask. Halfway through the movie there was a rumbling which got louder and louder and next an aeroplane was right overhead appearing to just clear the screen and so low you could see the passengers !! On our recent visit only a small aeroplane passed overhead, but first thought was the noise was part of the movie until you looked skywards. History abounds once inside Sun Pictures with old technology on display along with old cinema posters of vintage stars. On our first visit notice the locals took cushions and rugs for sitting in the then, deck chairs which have now been somewhat updated, but in the same style. Remembering the cushions and rugs, "borrowed" two cushions and pool towels from our hotel to make the great experience even more comfortable. Two visits to Sun Pictures this time, one to see a very old movie Casablanca and the other Bran Neu Day. Would definitely go again on a future visit to Broome
