Day Trip Broome - Derby

Just an easy two-hour drive on a sealed road from Broome, start your day with a visit to the Boab Prison Tree, an iconic Kimberley landmark. Watching the sunrise around this ancient tree is a beautiful experience. As you listen to the birds sing, take a moment to ponder the significance this tree has held throughout history.

Have you ever tried a boab nut coffee? Sounds like a perfect time! Order your favourite at Bushy’s and experience their take on a bush brew to caffeinate your morning.

Grab a bite to eat at Rusty’s Bakery, where you can fill up on a flavourful bulgogi beef dish or a classic flaky pastry. Enjoy your meal at One Mile Camp while reading about the rich history of this place.

Enjoy a wander through Norval Gallery, operated by Mark and Mary Norval. The gallery showcases their own work as well as pieces by many local Indigenous artists. Learn about the significance of each artwork and peruse their collection of intricately carved boab nuts. You can also watch Aboriginal artists paint, gaining insight into their creative process and cultural heritage.

Stroll along the marsh as the sky fills with bright hues of orange, casting a stunning backdrop behind the sculptures. Make your way to the Derby jetty to savor the final moments of sunlight as it dips below the horizon. If you're feeling lucky, try your hand at fishing, or simply enjoy the beauty of this iconic sunset.

Before making your way back to Broome, wrap up your day in Derby with a meal at Neaps Bistro. This popular eatery has become a favorite spot for both locals and visitors seeking a taste of the region's best flavors.
