In this episode, we share our favorite area in Australia: Broome & The Kimberley region in Western Australia.
It’s unspoiled wilderness in an area that is three times the size of the UK. That means endless gorges, waterfalls, and off the beaten path adventures await with little people to crowd your space.
And let us tell you about those beaches, colors and sunsets!! The best colors in the world live here!
We also share about our life for 5 months working on Kuri Bay Pearl Farm, which was once the largest provider of South Sea Pearls in the world!
