Description

Take a walk along Yawuru's self-guided Jetty to Jetty trail from Streeter's Jetty in Chinatown to the site of Old Jetty at Town Beach and immerse yourself in the beauty, culture and history of the Roebuck Bay foreshore and Broome's pearling past. The trail is marked by distinctive red signs at each site with seating available at most sites. The trail is approximately 2.5 km long. Listen to the stories of those who lived and worked through Broome's pearling era - the often untold accounts of the Aboriginal and Asian workers who were the backbone of the industry. Along the trail you will encounter thirteen sites illuminating Broome's rich cultural and natural heritage and be absorbed in the magic and grit of Broome's pearling past. The Jetty to Jetty app, available to download on any smartphone, provides a fascinating soundscape of stories and information about each of the sites.
