Bedford Memorial Park - Broome
Located along Hamersley Street and in front of the Mercure Hotel, this small historical park is an interesting and peaceful spot. The park has wide expanses of green lawn, views of the waters of Roebuck Bay and many historical monuments and plaques.
The Anzac Memorial commemorating the bravery of Broome soldiers during World War One dominates the centre of the park grounds. The remains of the engine that was used to drive the pearling industry's life saving decompression chamber and a replica of the explorer William Dampier's fabled trunk are the other most visible features.
Historical plaques dot the park and there are benches for those wishing to relax.
