Broome: Day Seventeen (5 November)

Bonfire Night in England but it was shorts and t-shirts weather for us. We went swimming in the hotel pool before going on an "Essential Broome" tour.

This started at the Open Air Cinema where the seats are deckchairs and we posed with a model of Charlie Chaplin.

We then found out about Broome's pearl diving industry. Most pearls today are created artificially because it is very dangerous to dive in search of them. Many of the divers who died were Japanese and there is a special cemetery in Broome where they are buried.

We also visited a local brewery (I only tried the mango juice and ginger beer) and finished the tour with a camel ride along Cable Beach.
