A little history of Broome
of the local indigenous peoples, Yawuru, have lived in this area for many hundreds (some say thousands) of years. There is also evidence that people sailed from Malaya and Indonesia in search of turtles and pearls.
Dugong feeding only from Broome William Dampier was the first European to visit the area in 1688 and Roebuck Bay was named after his ship HMS Roebuck. But it was not until nearly 200 years later that the town was officially recognized and named after the then Governor, Sir Frederick Napier Broome.
This is the discovery of the world's largest pearl oyster (Pinctada MAXIMA - manufacturer of white South Sea and Golden South Sea pearls), which has seen beginings industry that has, over the years, from Broome known - pearling!
In 1910 the Broome producted over 80% of the world Mother of Pearl shell is used in the manufacture of a wide array of decorative objects from the button, furniture and jewellry. It was in 1913 that the local pearling fleet (examples of which can still be seen in the Broome) reached a peak of over 400 vessels.
industry is very profitable for the ship captain, but divers are facing real danger from sharks, sea snakes (the most venomous in the world), cyclone (shipwreck divers to reduce fate if they appeared on the horizon to the ship nominated will be used for security), drowning, when the equipment is broken or defective and the 'bends' (a painful death ).
invention of plastics in the 1950s saw a rapid decline in the Mother of Pearl Industry. However, in the late 50s the industry began a recovery of cultured pearling industry took off. Up to 70-Broome once again able to boast that the center of the world's pearling industry meeting more than 70% of world demand.
The 80-second industry began to affect the Broome and this time it was the people - tourists, in fact. These days, Broome hosts more than 100,000 tourists a year, and the numbers continue to grow as new neighborhoods are built and older hotels obnovljen.Stvarne change began when the road between Port Hedland and Broome finally sealed allowing people to drive all the way into the relative safety and comfort .
Broomes Cable Beach is one of the most beautiful beaches in the world, and pindan rock (soil this time instead of vegetation. See above), Stark white sand and clear waters of the Indian Ocean bblue are part of the exotic cities of the appeal. Chinatown has a peculiar style all its own, which is a mixture of Australian Colonial / Asian developed in the early days of settlement and still surviving today.
Broome is a paradise for those of us who live sport fishing. There was a massive long pier (watch the local kids catch fish and will kill themselves just to catch the line, hook and birds of a feather as bait), or in one of the many tidal creeks. But be aware that the local king tide can be dangerous and it is advisable to get tide chart from Broome Visitor Centre.
