Broome is home for us - we were travelling around Australia, stopped here and stayed! We love the small community and lifestyle and have been here for 35 years now and just cannot leave!! Coming back to this place makes you really appreciate it. There are lots of little things that annoy and bug you but then your realise once you leave it that this part of Australia is really amazing! May and Glenn
We travel around Australia in our caravan with our oils busineers and have been in Broome since July - we love the climate here. We are packing up and leaving in October heading to QLD and Fiji for the rest of the year and next year! We travel chasing the summer heat!! Kira and Heidi
We live in Geraldton and this is our first time in the Kimberley. We had never been up here and wanted to see something a bit different so decided to travel up here to explore. We are really enjoying seeing the different areas in Australia. Tessa, Mathew and Evie
I am from Italy and travelling all around Australia. I am in the Kimberley for the colours! And also the sunsets, beaches and ocean. Moreno
Broome is my father's Country. Mum moved up here as a nurse, met dad and they married in 1959. This area is beautiful, weather is awesome - wet season and ocean are stunning. Broome is multicultural and everyone gets along well. Where the red dirt meets the white sands, the earth and dino prints should all be shared. Tania
Broome is home. A life change brought us here as we came looking for new things - Shannon makes me stay. We came up for holidays and saw how people lived - more connected, great community and great beach! Shannon and Luke
We don’t want to give the secret away about this place! Dampier and Buccaneer Archipelago are raw natural and untouched - the stars are beautiful and beaches amazing and clean. Shannon
Broome is home - the feel of the place, the people and laid back lifestyle makes me stay. I have been here for years, initally canme to visit and then moved for 6 months, then stayed for 2 years and then came back again. I am a diesel mechanic and my business is set up here now. The beauty of this place makes me stay, there is something about the lifestyle here - friendliness, no stresses, easy and carefree. Linda and Xanthea
I am Australian and grew up in Three Springs which is inland from Dongara. I now live in Perth with my family and have never been up this far north in Western Australia so decided it would be a good way to see the State. Also a really fun way to travel with family and friends as we are driving and taking our time to travel up to Darwin. Isla
We are on a trip with friends to explore the Kimberley and on our way up to Darwin by car. We live in Perth and have never been up this way so thought it would be a really good opportunity to see some of the State. It is a nice way to travel with family and friends. Jake
I love the weather and the balmy nights and the scenery that draws you into it. Libby, Lawson and Wesley
Home for us is Perth and we drove up here on a holiday. My family has been coming here since I was a kid so we decided to combine a holiday and work trip. Jason and Lawson
Broome is my home - I was born here and am a Walman man. I was a pearl diver in the 1950s here in Broome. My cousin Freddy and I were the first Indigenous pearl divers in Broome, we worked in Darwin before that. We got more shells in 1 week than any of the other divers. Eddie
Walkaway and Lesmurdie in Western Australia are home. Friends and family brought us to the Kimberley for a holiday and explore Broome. We have enjoyed the warmth of people and place. Sandi and Eloise
The beautiful nature, the diversity and mixed community. I am an engineer so there was lots of opportunity here. We have stayed because of the people - we have met good friends and there is lots of opportunity for growth. We are loving it! Paul and David
I love the beautiful beaches and the stunning, unique places. The Ord River is a really beautiful big river that is green and lush. Maddy
I moved here four years ago from Sydney to be involved in the No Gas James Price Point campaign. There is still a way to go with this campaign. Claire
