Broome & Cable Beach

Cable Beach is where Australia's third telegraph cable came ashore in 1889, a direct line from Broome to Java and on to Europe. This beach is where it was first brought onto land, and then was fed into the telegraph station in town where messages were then transferred across Australia.
