Northern Ireland is home for me. Had kids in Perth and then moved to Broome for work (FIFO) and the lifestyle. The lifestyle is a laid back, safe environment to raise kids, you know everyone, friendly people and a strong sense of community. Jada
Born in Armadale and grown up in Tammin, which is located in the Wheatbelt. I couldn't imagine life away from my beautiful little home town that I have lived in for 16 years. At 18 years old I have traveled the world yet I still get excited to return back home to WA. Nothing beats our good Aussie meals and our beautiful fresh air. Ive just brought my own home in the town of Tammin because I cannot think of moving away from our beautiful WA Wheatbelt. WA is where where I will raise my children, where I will get married and where I will live happily ever after. I love Western Australia! Taneika
I love living in Fremantle, Western Australia - close to my daughter Sue and my young granddaughters Jaslyn and Ella who live in East Fremantle, WA. I'm also very lucky to own a house in Margaret River in a Special Rural location between the town and the beach. Margaret River provides an ideal contrast to the vibrant city life of Fremantle - with easy access to the most beautiful forests and beaches of Australia. I'm always very happy to return home - Western Australia - from my travels in New Zealand, the United States, Europe, Antarctica, Middle East, Iceland and Greenland. I'm very proud to be a West Australian with our large and beautiful State offering a huge range of geographical diversity - as any weather forecast can demonstrate our State's rich texture of ecosystems. More importantly, our people who are hard working as well as easy going, make the Western Australia stand out not only nationally but also globally. Gulten
I have been in Broome for 7 1/2 years - brought me here for work on a 457 visa. Initially I was managing a restaurant and now I am the duty manager for a bed and breakfast. The community and place is beautiful and everyone helps each other. You stay here, you meet people and soon you know everyone - everyone is friendly and knows you! Rich culture of Broome, the diversity is amazing - mix of Aboriginal and Asian heritage Ronaldo and Mason
"I am travelling around Australia and Karen has joined me in Broome. I have been living in Kalgoorlie and slowly making my way up the west coast of Western Australia and have just made it to Broome where Karen has met me. We met in Brisbane before I moved to Western Australia for work. The red dirt is a story that should be told - it gets redder and redder the further north you go." Andrew and Karen
Forrestfield is home for us. We have come to Broome for a family holiday and for the warmth. We would like to see the history of the place shared in the Museum. James
Broome is home now, I am originally from NSW and have been in Western Australia for 25 years. Work brought me to Kununurra and then Broome and I am now totally addicted to the Kimberley; the ancient lands, dirt, ocean, waterfalls - I love it! Eliza
Broome is home as our family has always been in the Kimberley - this is our Country. I want to stay and I love the land - everything is special in this place. There's no other place like it! Megan
Broome is home and I came for family. I love the beaches and scenery - wouldn't live without the beach! Rose
Broome is home - family and opportunities I have and all the people I have grown up with make me stay here. The people here make it really hard to leave, they are so special. Anna
"Home is the Kimberley. I moved here in 1967 in a Combi for the lifestyle and weather from the South West. I have lived in the tropics before and like the heat. I'm drawn to the environment, mixed culture, the opportunities and the wealth of cultural sonservation in the community. Stories about this region that should be shared include the opportunities and achievement of the Indigenous ranger programs - past present and the future!" Wade
Western Australia is home - I have lived in Margaret River, Fremantle and now the Kimberley where I am the head brewer at Matsos. I have also worked at Sail & Anchor, Cheeky Monkey Brewery & Cidery. Matsos brings people to Broome and after this season I will be heading back to Margaret River. David
Home is Bundaberg in Queensland even though I now am living here in Broome. Work opportunities and adventure brought me here - I work as a nurse in child health in Aboriginal communities. Stories of the desert people and their rich histories should be told in the New Museum. Dianne
Melbourne is home for us. We are travelling through Broome visiting a friend who is a well known Broome resident while we are here and then heading to Alice Springs next. We love the diversity and people here in Broome. Jen
Broome is home. I travelled from Perth here and it is the only town that had beaches, schools and a a community feel that draws you in. You want to look around the corner and explore. I love the diverse cultures and history of the traditional land owners that the stories that come with it. Gerard
Perth is home for us. We are holidaying as we wanted warm weather and to stay at Cable Beach Resort as we had been here before and were envious of the resort. It is an Australian destination as is safe, close to Perth, climate is great and it is a relaxed place. Vanessa and Blake
Stuart has been living here for 16 years working FIFO in Port Hedland and I moved here recently for him. We live here for the lifestyle - fishing and beer. Katie, Stuart, Scarlett and Chelsea
