Ok so you have been wanting to visit Broome but have looked at the cost and thought that it was way out of your budget. You wanted to walk for miles on Cable Beach without seeing another soul but you just couldn’t find the money. You always wanted to get your very own
 Wet Season Storm Broome Jetty picture of the sun going down where the red soil meets the azure sea but…
Well now you can afford it. The wet season may be hot but so is the price. Everyone’s rates are down to attract the low numbers who visit Broome in the low season. And Barefoot Bungalow’s rates are the lowest! You can stay with us for as low as $99 per night. Yep you heard it right. Almost as low as staying at a backpackers, but we don’t have a dorm or bunk beds.
For $99 you get a Queen sized luxury separate bungalow with no shared walls, huge bathroom and shower, private deck with a view of the pool and waterfall, your own bbq, fridge, kettle, tea, coffee and free wifi.
The bonus of visiting Broome in the wet is that you might get to see one of the true wonders of nature, a lightning show on the horizon as the sun goes down.

We have installed solar power. What does this mean to you as a guest? Just that we are one of the very few places you can stay in Broome without leaving a carbon footprint.  East & North face - all available space. As far as power is concerned you will be carbon neutral!
Not that big a deal you say? Well, Broome is not on the state grid.
We get our power supply from local generators running on natural gas and diesel trucked in from great distances. If you stay with us, you will be contributing to the preservation of the pristine Kimberley, not polluting it. Also, we supply what we don’t use back to the grid, saving gas and diesel while the sun shines.
So, stay with us near Cable Beach in Broome’s premier Sunset Estate and leave only footprints.
Just one more reason to book Broome’s only mini resort!

Have you got your tickets yet?
Jandamarra is the stage play or “Event” as it is being labeled. It is a play that follows one of the many stories or interpretations surrounding the Bunuba resistance against white settlement in the Kimberley. It was the biggest resistance of its kind in Australia and was led by Jandamarra, a troubled and reckless youth who eventually embraces his spiritual power.
This play was first mounted in 2008 for the Perth International Arts Festival but has been remounted for a “Return to the Kimberley”. They have aimed extremely high with doing the production in the country of the Bunuba. They have sold out their show at Windjana Gorge from July 22-27, 2011. The show begins its tour in Broome on Wednesday July 13th until the 16th and should be a great warmup for the Windjana outing. Kununurra will have the show from August 4-6.
Get tickets now at jandamarra.com.au.

Is Broome going to experience an arctic blast this winter? I only ask this because we have experience some quite cold nights in May. We had a record low this past month of 10.8° C. Maybe that is not Canadian cold but for Broome that is getting mighty chilly. Not to worry if you are planning on visiting Broome this winter to get away from the cold south, the day’s temperature rarely falls below 25°. This is one reason Broome is such a great place to visit in the winter; nice comfortable sleep under the doona and a great day walking around in shorts and a t-shirt.
Hope to see you this winter.

When: Saturday Night 7pm. Place: A packed Café d’Amore. Impression: Fabulous!! Reservations a must: (08)9192 7606.
 Café d'Amore owners Jude & Radiel Broome’s number one restaurant is back! The greatest news for the town all year. Broome over the years had been spoiled with some of the best Italian food anywhere with the old Café d’Carlottas. Last year the ownership changed hands and the new owner fell off the horse. No, it is fairer to say, he crashed and burned. The service went downhill. The food came to the table burned, that is, if the food made it to the table.
Thankfully that nightmare is over. Café Carlottas has been reborn as Café d’Amore. The new owners are former employees who worked there in the glory days. They have brought the glory back. The service is excellent. The food is to die for. The coffee is fabulous. If you are going to be in Broome on vacation, be sure to call and book a reservation a good month in advance, because you will not get in otherwise.

Just today on the recommendation of some guests staying with us, we decided to have lunch at the newly established Dragonfly Cafe located in Chinatown on the corner of Carnarvon and Short Streets. This is where Henry’s was located last year.
 The Dragonfly Burger from iPhone All that needs to be said is that they make a great, I mean fabulous, burger. I had their namesake beef burger and my friend had the Chickpea burger. Why someone would order a chickpea burger? I don’t know but it was great! Both were well presented on the plate with chips and salad (I know, I know. Salad with a burger? But it was good to have some greens) and a nice sauce. My burger had bacon, cheese, tomato chutney, caramelized onion and a homemade burger patty. The Chickpea burger had aioli instead of the chutney and of course no bacon (it is the vegetarian option).
I cannot forget to mention the coffee. I had one of the best cappuccinos I have had in Broome. Just the right ratio of milk to foam with a wonderful grind of coffee.

What a great couple of days this past weekend has been down at Cable Beach! Paspaley has begun a new tradition in Broome with it’s Beach Polo. Last year saw the inaugural match as a test to see if it could be done in such a remote area, what with the transport of the horses 2,241 km from Perth one of the biggest challenges. This, the second year, brought two days of matches with semis and finals and an international match between New Zealand and Australia.
 Broome Beach polo If that wasn’t enough excitement, an as yet unnamed man decided to jump into a polo service vehicle, crash through one of the field barrier fences, drive across the playing area and crash into the VIP tent. All this was caught on video by one player’s helmet cams.

The first of some 22,000 humpback whales began to migrate from the freezing waters of the Antarctic towards the calving grounds south of Broome to the north of Camden Sound.
 Humpbacks are in town.
This past month, a pod of five whales was spotted by one local and then a week later two more whales were spotted off Cable Beach at Coconut Well. These whales are about six weeks earlier than usually expected. Over the last two years the first whales were not spotted until the end of May.
This may promise to be a long season of whale watching just off the beach.
