 One of Broome's weathered faces |
 Broome on Roebuck Bay, eighteen degrees south of the equator, twenty two hundred kilometres by road from Perth in the north-west of Australia, is about as far away from Sydney and Melbourne as you can get without a passport. Even in an age of satellites, solar-powered telephones, fax lines and regular scheduled air services, it feels remote. Indeed, it is remote... in the best possible way. Against a constant motif of three contrasting primary colours - richly red soil, white sand and brilliant blue water - Broome offers such delights as dinosaur footprints, the oldest picture theatre in Australia, a striking Japanese pearl divers cemetery, and millions of migrating sea birds.
