Broome's clain to fame is pearl diving. They still farm pearls but cultured pearls from pearl farms. A picturique place has a big chisese influence from the days of the chinese pearl divers. The Tide differences between high and low tide is tremendous. Low tide you can walk out for miles but remember you cann't run faster than an incoming tide.
 
Derby is aso a nice place and check out the prison tree outside of town it was used to house prisoners overnight on their way to the Derby Court.
