BeachBooker Beach VillasWith its balmy climate, breathtaking scenery and rich culture, a visit to Broome in Western Australia’s North West will have you feeling as if you’re worlds away – when in fact, you’re less than five hours away from the east coast.

Broome is where the outback meets the ocean. The lifestyle is laidback and relaxed, boasting its own “Broome Time” - an expression used by locals to describe the slower pace of life that is uniquely Broome.

Once considered to be inaccessible by many East coast travellers, there’s never been a better time to plan your escape to Broome and beyond, with Qantas having launched direct flights from Sydney and Melbourne.

The flights are fantastic news for travellers, with flight durations just four and a half hours from Melbourne and five hours from Sydney.

In addition, there are some wonderful accommodation specials on offer to celebrate the new flights.

Stay at the Rendezvous Sanctuary Resort during April or May 2008 for the special nightly rate of $245 (Studio Room), $310 (One Bedroom Apartment), $399 (Two Bedroom Apartment) or $475 (Three Bedroom Villa). These prices also include hot daily breakfast, transfers to/from airport and beach, free welcome kids gift (max 2), late checkout, two for one camel rides and discount off Willie Creek Pearl tours.

Get Your Surf Gear HereFrom 1 April to 31 May, stay for a minimum of four nights at the luxurious Cable Beach Club for $154 per person per night twin share and in addition you’ll receive complimentary return Broome airport transfers and full buffet breakfast daily in the Sunset Bar & Café overlooking spectacular Cable Beach.

There’s so much to explore in Broome. The town has a rich culture that is shaped by its pearling history when Japanese, Filipino and Malay pearl divers arrived in the town to make their fortune from the wealth of South Sea Pearls. Today, visitors enjoy exploring the pearl showrooms which line the streets of Chinatown.

If adventure’s what you’re looking for – there’s plenty right on Broome’s doorstep. You can enjoy a helicopter flight over the Horizontal Waterfalls or the Bungle Bungle Range or try 4wd’ing to Cape Leveque.
