The Experience

I’ll be honest — we almost missed the minivan because I thought “Broometime” meant five minutes late was normal. Turns out our driver, Pete, runs on his own clock (he winked and said he’d seen worse). First stop was Matso’s Brewery, and the ginger beer hit different in that sticky heat — sweet and sharp at once. We sat outside looking over Roebuck Bay, the water kind of milky blue and a bit hazy. I tried to order in my best Aussie accent and got a laugh from the bartender. Mango beer is weirdly good with salty chips, by the way.

After that, we rolled into the Broome Historical Museum — air con blasting (thank god). Our guide, Li, pointed out these old black-and-white photos of pearl divers and told us about how Broome used to be this wild mix of people chasing fortunes or running from something. There’s a room with dinosaur footprints cast in concrete; I touched one when no one was looking. The place smells faintly like old paper and floor polish. Kids were giggling at some WWII radio exhibit. It felt like you could spend hours poking through drawers of postcards and stories.

The last bit was Malcolm Douglas Crocodile Park. I didn’t expect to feel nervous but those crocs are massive — you hear their jaws snap from across the pond and it sounds like someone dropped a plank on concrete. The keeper tossed chicken over the fence while telling us about Malcolm Douglas himself (never heard of him before but apparently he’s a legend around here). There’s something about seeing those prehistoric eyes blink slow in the sun that sticks with you. On the drive back, everyone was quieter than before — maybe just tired or maybe thinking about what we’d seen. I still think about those crocs sometimes.

What’s included

Your afternoon includes hotel pickup and drop-off around Broome (or even airport transfer if you need), entry fees to all three attractions, two drinks at Matso’s Brewery if you’re over 18, live commentary from your local guide throughout the day plus water on board—just bring your own refillable bottle for top-ups along the way.
