Take a stroll through Chinatown, the original bustling centre of Broome, where pearl showrooms, galleries and cafes abound.

Splash out on a pearl or two – it’s the ultimate memento of your trip to Broome.

Chinatown has been a flourishing part of Broome since the discovery of the world’s biggest pearl shell in the late 1800s sparked a massive migration comparable to a gold rush.

Today, it’s still a central hub where tourists and locals mix in the many restaurants, cafes and shops.

The original corrugated iron huts from the early days remain and are now home to some of the world’s finest pearl showrooms.

Spend a few hours and soak up some Chinatown charm.

Broome is a two and a half hour flight from Perth.
