What to expect
Your guide will walk you through Broome's working pearling industry rather than just its history. At Cygnet Bay's Chinatown showroom, you'll see divers and processors at work, then taste the product—pearl meat is delicate, slightly briny. Black Stump Gallery sits inland; expect contemporary and Indigenous Australian pieces. The final leg takes you to Pole Position at Cable Beach House where you'll have a drink in hand as light fades over the Indian Ocean. Most of the four hours flows between these spots; your guide fills gaps with context about Broome's pearling boom and the people who built it.
