Broome is a resort town in the remote north-west area of Western Australia which is particulary famous for its pearl farming along the coast of the Indian Ocean.  
Broome is also a gateway to the "top-end" of Australia and the wild and scenic Kimberley Region. August is a balmy time of the year with an average maximum temperature of 30^oC (82^oF) with low humidity and little likelihood of rain. The conference resort is on the magnificent Cable Beach (see left) and August is the optimal season in northern Australia for swimming, sailing, touring and relaxing.
