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!

We discuss:

Recommended tours of the Pearling region

At the moment, there are no tours to Kuri Bay. You never know when they may return. There are other tours you can do to other pearl farms in the Broome area and to learn more about the pearling history.

We don’t have a lot of photos during this period. We weren’t travel blogging and just took snaps on a point and shoot camera.

But here is a little glimpse at life in Kuri Bay Pearl Farm
