Stuart our guide was extremely knowledgeable and an expert in his field. Very passionate and he loves imparting the history of Broome and the pearling industry. I had no idea how important the Pearling industry was to Broome's development. Next time we will also do the Willie Creek Pearl Farm. Enjoyed the titbit of muscle meat as well.

Our Guide Stuart was brilliant, very knowledgeable and used oral and video presentations very effectively. The sessions allowed for handling of historical artifacts and the tasting of pearl shell meat in the Showroom was also enjoyable.
