Broome is the tourist mecca town 2000 kilometers north of Perth in Western Australia. A magical place embraced by the azure blue of the Indian Ocean and surrounded with the deep red, pindan dirt. It is renowned for the pearling industry which brought many Chinese to these shores to dive for the elusive oysters that held the pearl in the heart of their shells.
These photos are the corrugated shops that form China Town today.
To see more photos of when I stayed in Broome go here.

Memories are made of this 
Broome was famous because of a book or PBS series. I can’t remember, but I certainly remember the name. I want to come back to Oz!
I hope you do Cindy, lots to see over here.
looks interesting and the corrugated word fits – it looks like corrugated cardboard – and I like the red – I never liked oysters tho…. 🙂 do you?
Many of the pioneers built huts to live in with corrugated iron as trees were in short supply. It must’ve been so hot in them in our summers. I do quite like oysters but they are so over priced I never buy them.
well i had friends who enjoyed them with the ol’ hot sauce – and I guess I like oyster stew – but not form the half shell- ha!
What at pretty row of shops, although it must be hot if they’re corrugated metal!
They are lined and most of them have air conditioning installed.
Great photos, we didn’t manage to find our way into China Town when we were there, there’s certainly plenty to see about the town.
I agree, plenty to see and do, great place.
Yes, the name rings a bell as a place I’d heard of before too. It’s certainly colourful enough – good choice 🙂
It is a very popular place for “grey nomads” to spend winter in.
It’s a great name for a town and – I LOVE oysters (and pearls) 😉
and Broome is the place to go for pearls. Have you been there?
No – but I’m planning on visiting WA sometime in the next couple of years. I’ve got the Margaret River wineries in mind as a first stop 😉
Best time to go is August September, wild flower season…
