marcelus's question:
Where can I look for pearls in Broome? And am I going to be trapped by Aboriginal populations?(give a different answer) .
No, the population is varied, a mix of Japanese, Chinese, Malay and non human-eater Aborigines. The beach, 14-mile long and almost half a mile wide - when the tide is out - appeared on the map due to the pearl oysters inhabiting here. Among the biggest in the world. You'll see them shimmering in the sunbleached sand, as the waters of the Indian Ocean are crystal clear. The spirit of pearl hunters is still evident in the iron cottages and colonial verandas.
