Dampier Peninsula, Broome, Australia, 1997

Famous for its pearl-filled waters, Broome anchors the Dampier Peninsula, part of the famous Kimberley region in northwest Australian. This region was one of the earliest settled areas of the continent, receiving settlers from Indonesian islands some tens of thousands of years ago.
