BROOME PEARL FARM HISTORY
At the turn of the century, around the late 1880s, it was all about pearls in the West Kimberley. Divers flocked to Roebuck Bay from around the world to find the fortune and many never survived to tell the tale. A visit to the Japanese Cemetary in Broome is testament to this.
But by 1910, Broome had literally boomed, becoming the largest pearling centre in the world. At any one time there were up to 300 luggers ploughing through the waters surrounding Roebuck Bay. However, there were dark horizons looming with the advent of World War II. Foreign labour was rounded up and impounded in internment camps. Even the fleet of luggers was scuttled and burnt to prevent it falling into Japanese hands should an invasion happen.
Today there is still a thriving pearling industry that you can experience on one of our tours, or a through a visit to one of the boutiques in Broome.
With Broome being the historic centre of the Australian Pearling industry, take the opportunity to join one of our many exciting tours.
