Hostel
Welcome to the Kimberly Klub YHA. We got to Broome bright and early on September 13th, having taken the overnight bus from Kununurra. After checking into the hostel, we took a walk around the town. Broome is a very nice town, small but upscale. It is famous for being the main pearling centre of Australia, especially during the early nineteenth century. That first night we decided to walk down to Cable Beach, one of the most famous beaches on the West Coast. The beach is beautiful, pristine white sand and sparkling turquoise water. We stumbled upon on Asian festival of some kind that happened to be going on beside the beach. We got dinner and watched some entertainment which included dancing and singing, before heading back to the hostel.
The next day, we explored the town further and spent some time in Chinatown. This area included historical information about the lives of various populations, particularly the Japanese, who immigrated to Broome to work in the pearling industry. That night we went on a sunset camel ride on Cable Beach! This was awesome, and very relaxing.
Tuesday, we decided to continue with our long-standing tradition of going to the cinema by going to see “UP”. This

Wednesday was our last day in Broome. We spent most of that day relaxing at the hostel and shopping in Chinatown.
