Pearl Luggers is located in the heart of Chinatown in Broome. Two tours daily are available to discover the real story behind Broome, the infamous pearling town. The restoration of two wooden luggers from the late 1800s are on display. The tour embraces the ‘saltwater cowboys’ and shines a light on why they were revered as heroes in pursuit of the lustrous pearl shell. Archival movie footage from the 1950s shows the hardships they encountered in the dark depths. A captivating and entertaining historical tour, it will capture your imagination.
