In 1894 work had begun to construct a Tramway to carry Mother of Pearl Shell from Streeter & Male Jetties to the Goods Shed.  

 

The boom of the Mother of Pearl Industry secured the tramway line and it became a catalyst to the growth of Broome.

 

The Broome Tramway was used by all and became part of the Broome way of life.    

​

We offer daily tours from the Visitors Centre Mon - Fri 10am and 11am, listen to untold stories of the history of Broome and learn about the original tramway.
