Constructed from 1926
St John of God Convent is significant for the associations with the St John of God sisters, and the continuous use as a community care facility.
The single storey timber framed building with perimeter verandah is located central within a flat-grassed setting. The roof is hipped and the main roof covers the verandahs.
The Sisters of St John of God arrived in Broome in 1908. Their first home was a tin hut where they lived by day, sleeping in the church at night. The Chinese and Japanese shopkeepers gave them bedding and crockery. The Sisters nursed in the Japanese and District hospitals. A verandah, two bedrooms, kitchen and storeroom were added to the hut in 1909. A Catholic school was built in 1911, at which they taught. In 1926, the convent was built for them by Japanese carpenter Hori Gorokitchi. Gorokitchi arrived in Western Australia in May 1891, at the age of twenty-three. He worked as a builder and contractor in Broome, employing Japanese carpenters and constructing many buildings, including the former McDaniel Residence (Ref 45). The Sisters of St John of God occupied the Convent until 1967. Two Sisters spent over 60 years at Broome. Sisters Alphonse and Ignatius celebrated their Diamond Jubilee in Broome in 1975, and for their work in the North, Sister Alphonse was awarded the OBE and Sister Ignatius the MBE. The building has served a number of community needs, and was occupied by the Binagarra Counselling Service in 1996.

• Common Gate has historic value for its association with the period during the 20th century when the movement of Aboriginal people was strictly controlled. • The remnant elements of the Common Gate are rare physical reminders of past practices. • The place has social value for the Aboriginal people who have memories of the practices of control and division typified by the Common Gate. For those with no direct experience the stories have been passed down to younger generations. • The remnant elements of the fence and gate have historic value for their association with the Aborigines Act 1905 which had such a profound effect on the lives of the Aboriginal people of the region. • The areas adjacent to the former Common Gate have potential research value as they may contain archaeological deposits.
There are a series of remnant posts remaining between Paspaley Shopping Centre and the Broome Road. The timber posts which remain from the former fence line are in poor condition.
The Common Gate is the name used to refer to the wire fence and gates that marked the municipal boundary of the township of Broome. The fence line was initially erected to keep cattle out of the town but, following the passing of Western Australia's Aborigines Act 1905, the fence around the town was used as a physical boundary to regulate the movement of Aboriginal people. Aboriginal people who lived outside the townsite could enter Broome if they could demonstrate they had 'lawful employment'. If not they could be forcibly removed from the 'prohibited area'. The 'common gate' had a significant effect on Aboriginal people and the Broome community. Originally there were three gates across roads into Broome. The main gate was at the entrance on the Old Broome Road near the junction with Bagot and Short Streets. The second gate was at the junction of present day Barker and Herbert Streets and the third gate at the corner of Dora and Guy Streets. These entry points were locked with a large gate at 6 pm each night by police. This form of control of Aboriginal people was enforced until 1954 when the section of the Native Welfare Act repealed many of the sections of the Native Administration Act. For many decades the fence remained in situ although its condition gradually deteriorated. Large portions of the fence were removed by local men Jimmy Edgar and Jimmy Tany Wei who used a grader for the task while they were working for the State Electricity Commission. In 2007, an exhibition titled ‘Opening the Common Gate’ was put together by the Lingiari foundation and the Yawuru people to highlight how the policy of segregation operated what affect that had on individuals and the community. The use of the Common Gate as a readily identifiable symbol of segregation demonstrates how well known and significant the fence and gate were to all members of the community but particularly Aboriginal people.

• The site has historic value as the site of the crash of Dutch Douglas DC-3 brought down by an attack by Japanese Fighter Planes on 3 March 1942. • The site has historic value for its association with the bombing of Broome on 3 March 1942 by Japanese Fighter planes during World War II which was a significant event in the history of the town. • The site has historic value for its association with the evacuation of refugees from Indonesia and demonstrates the role northern Australia played during this period of the World War II. • The site has historic value for its association with individuals who played a role in the events at this site; Captain Smirnoff the pilot, the flight crew and the rescuers from Beagle Bay Community including Warrant Officer Class 2 Frederick Clinch, Brother Richard Bessenfelder and local man Joe Bernard. • The site has social value for community as the celebrated story of the crash, the rescue and the mystery of the lost diamonds contributes to the history and identity of the region.
In the early morning of 3 March 1942 nine Japanese Zero Fighter planes strafed 15 flying boats in Roebuck Bay, Broome, as well as several allied planes on the Broome air strip. 26 Planes were destroyed on the strip and in the bay. Over a hundred people died in the attack, which lasted no more than 20 minutes. Among the victims were more than 60 Dutch nationals, of which 50 civilians, who were being evacuated from Indonesia in anticipation of a Japanese attack. On their way back the Zero's encountered a Dutch Douglas DC-3 named the Pelikaan, piloted by Captain Ivan Smirnoff, on its way from Indonesia to Broome transporting Dutch refugees. Just prior to take off Smirnoff was handed a package to be handed to a Commonwealth Bank representative on arrival in Australia. It contained diamonds worth approximately $20 million although Smirnoff was unaware of its contents. The plane was shot down and crash-landed in Carnot Bay, approximately 80 km north of Broome. Four of the group died as they waited to be rescued, including an 18-month-old toddler, and were buried in the wet sand flats. During the four days that the group spent on the remote Kimberley beach, desperately searching for water and help, there was at least one unsuccessful attempt to retrieve the box from the damaged aircraft. After being attacked by a passing Japanese bomber that had picked up their position via a faint SOS call from the group's ramshackle radio, the group were rescued by a search party from Beagle Bay, 60 kilometres north. This search party was led by Warrant Officer Frederick Clinch, Brother Richard Bessenfelder and local man Joe Bernard. The survivors were first taken to Beagle Bay and then on to Broome two days later. It is believed that local fisherman and beachcomber Jack Palmer visited the wreckage shortly after the rescue to salvage anything valuable. He is understood to have found either some or all of the diamonds. After a period in which Palmer was seen around Broome displaying signs of wealth, he handed over a package of diamonds to the authorities. He was charged with theft but it was never proven that he had taken all the diamonds and subsequently acquitted. Palmer was taken back to the wreckage in April 1942 as part of the investigations into the story and during that visit parts of the aircraft was salvaged. Locals recall that diamonds were sighted in a number of locations in the following years and even after the war stories would emerge of the lost diamonds. The site in Carnot Bay has been subsequently named Smirnoff Bay after Captain Smirnoff whose skill in landing the damaged plane in such difficult conditions enabled the majority of the group to survive. The remains of the Dakota remained on the beach until 1970, when the stripped fuselage was broken up by dynamite. A memorial was erected at the site in 1942 by the Australian Army, and replaced in the 1990's. A third commemorative memorial was unveiled at Smirnoff Beach on 22 June 2013 to honour those who lost their lives, the survivors and the rescuers. At the ceremony were representatives of the Dutch Embassy and relatives of the crew and passengers.

The following statements are drawn from the Australian National Heritage entry for the place prepared in 2011 with additional information published by Salisbury et al (2017). The Dampier Coast dinosaur tracks have outstanding heritage value to the nation; • as the best and most extensive evidence of dinosaurs from the western half of the continent, some of which are unknown from body fossils; • The highest diversity of dinosaur tracks anywhere in the world (21 different types); • The only definitive evidence of stegosaurs in Australia; • The first described sauropod tracks in Australia; • Some of the largest dinosaur tracks in the world; • Only evidence of dinosaurs from this time period in Australia (approximately 130 million years ago); • The tracks are linked to the Dreamtime stories of the indigenous people along the Dampier Peninsula coastline, from Bunginygun (Swan Point, Cape Leveque) to Wabana (Cape Bossut, near Bidyadanga/La Grange) which have been retold over many generations.
The Broome Sandstone is exposed discontinuously for over at least 100 km of coastline from Gulbunwilla on Roebuck Bay east of Broome north to Minarriny (Coloumb Point), and possibly as far north as Cape Leveque. At most places where this rock formation has been uncovered, whether by gradual erosion or the pounding of cyclonic seas, dinosaur footprints have been found. At least 21 different types of footprints are recognised, making this the most diverse collections of dinosaurian trace fossils in the world. Over 70 discrete tracksites have been identified, many of which preserve short sections of trackways (sequences of prints recording the movement of one or more animals).
Geologists explain the formation of the Kimberley in terms of physical forces which have shaped present landforms over thousands of millions of years: the movement of continental plates; shifts in climate and sea level; and the action of wind, water and ice on rock. Geologists situate change in geological periods, which are defined with reference to global geological and evolutionary developments. The dinosaur footprints on the Dampier Peninsula are dated to the ‘Mesozoic era’, the age of the dinosaurs approximately 252 million years ago to 66 million years ago. The Mesozoic era is divided into three periods; the Triassic, Jurassic and Creatceous. From around 200 million years ago, in the early Jurassic period, the Kimberley Plateau once again formed part of a large island landmass, separated from the Northern Australian and Pilbara cratons by an inland sea. During the Cretaceous period, many species of dinosaurs occupied the area. As dinosaurs walked over swampy ground about 130 million years ago, they left tracks, some of which are preserved as fossils in the Broome Sandstone and exposed along the west coast of Dampier Peninsula. Fossilised remains of plants and pollens are found along with the tracks, which allow geologists to estimate their age. Plant remains and depositional features of the sandstone show the range of environments that these dinosaurs inhabited, which included rich lagoonal forests, estuaries, swamps and riverine areas. Knowledge of the dinosaur tracks by the local indigenous groups saw them included into their stories of the land and its creation, particularly those involving the Emu Man, Marala, who was the Law Giver. One of the first records of non-indigenous knowledge of the tracks was made by journalist and researcher, Daisy Bates is known to have sighted and recorded tracks near Broome while she was working at the Beagle Bay Mission around 1900. Other recordings in the 1930's and 1940's demonstrate that these remote tracks were known by the local residents, one of whom Walter ‘Snowy’ Jones, informed Ludiwg Glauert, Curator of the WA Museum. From the late 1940's, knowledge and understanding of the dinosaur tracks developed with the first accurate dating of the age of the tracks by Ludwig Glauert using the evidence of plant fossils collected by the Broome family, the Bardwells in the early 20th century. The tracks have provided inspiration for many artists, including Mary Durack and Russel Drysdale. In the 1950's, the tracks were an opportunity for education and research by naturalists Vincent Serventy and Harry Butler who took indigenous school children to the site. Research on the various sites continued through the second half of the 20th century by local and international scientists and in 2011, the tracks were included in the National Heritage List for the West Kimberley. The tracks continue to be a rich source of research and analysis for scientists, a link to creation stories for the indigenous people of the Dampier Peninsula and a place of interest for the local community.

Cable and building remains are a significant and relevant marker of the history of telecommunications and Broome’s pivotal role in that network.
The concrete foundations and housings of the cable and junction box are evident approximately half way along Cable Beach, in the sand dunes of Minyrr Park. The remains of the cable keepers cottage are also in the vicinity.
In 1888, the two undersea telegraph cables linking Java and Darwin were broken by volcanic activity and the Eastern Extension, Australasia and China Telegraph Company (E.E.T. Company), which operated the cable, decided to lay another cable from Java to the northwest coast. The cable was landed on the beach in February 1889 by the steamship Seine, at a place that has ever since been known as Cable Beach. A beach station was erected, completed by 3 March, and the cable was installed and tested. A section of cable was then run from the beach station across the peninsula to Broome Lot 99 where Cable House (Place no. 27)) had been erected for the staff of the E.E.T. Company. There the cable was linked to the overland telegraph line from Perth. The overland section of cable between Cable Beach and Cable House was placed inside a subterranean pipe. In 1901, the undersea cable to Broome became redundant when a new cable was laid from Durban to Adelaide. The cable to Broome carried little traffic for the next 13 years and was removed in March 1914. Broome remained linked to Perth and the rest of the world by the overland telegraph line. The beach station was still standing in the early 1920s when a police constable from Broome spent a week there to recuperate from fever.

Constructed from 1986
Cable Beach Club represents the beginning of Broome as a tourist destination of an international standard. The Bali Hai Caravan Park had a long association with tourism on the site. Cable Beach Club is of significance for its distinctive architectural concept of the time, and as a place of memories and experiences associated with a holiday in Broome.
Cable Beach Resort is situated within a lush tropical setting overlooking Cable Beach. Cable Beach Club has motel and bungalow style accomodation.
Cable Beach Club was Robert Alistair (Lord) McAlpine major toursim project in Broome. Lord McAlpine had arrived by accident in Broome in the early 1980s on a redirected flight. He liked the town so much he became a major investor and developer, restoring buildings and constructing the resort. Cable Beach Club- originally named the International Cable Beach Resort, was built to provide accommodation to high international standards to complement the motel and caravan park accommodation already available in Broome. The bungalow style rooms were designed to reflect Broome's long multicultural history.

Tang Wei was born in Kowloon in 1908. He worked on a steamer and arrived in Broome in 1928. He worked for Clarke and then Norman as a pearling crew member. During World War Two, he was ordered to stay in Broome to work in the bakery, baking bread for the servicemen. In 1946, he married Lexie d'Antoine. He worked as a diver for Alf Morgan, becoming head diver for the fleet, before retiring in 1958. He purchased the Carnarvon Street property in 1953 and opened a restaurant there, living in the residence at the rear with Lexie and their four children. Tang Wei's long soup restaurant was a Broome icon, patronised by everyone from the football crowd on Sunday evening to the Shire councillors. Pearling masters and their families came to Tang Wei's for Christmas parties and business dinners. In 1984, he closed the restaurant but continued to occupy the residence. In the 1990s, the shop was leased by Kimberley Kreations. In 1999, Tang Wei represented the Chinese community of Broome as patron of the Shinju Matsuri festival and unveiled the hard hat divers memorial on Carnarvon Street. The residence continues to be occupied by Tang & Lexie Teresa Wei while the front has been leased and occupied by various businesses in more recent years.

The single storey concrete building has a gable roof clad with corrugated iron. It is rectangular in form with four cells adjacent to a corridor along the other side.
Police Lockup was constructed in 1896 as part of the police station, police quarters and courthouse. The cells were used to hold prisoners awaiting trial or in police custody. Most of the early occupants were either Aboriginal, a deserter from a ship or a pearl thief. Aboriginal prisoners were chained to steel rings set in the concrete floor to prevent escape at night. In 1897, Police officer Herbert Thomas planted the Boab Tree near the corner of the police quarters he was occupying with his wife, to commemorate the birth of his son, Frederick, on 3 March. Thomas was transferred out of Broome a few years later. Frederick Thomas was killed at Pozieres on 28 July 1916, and in 1920, Herbert Thomas returned to Broome as Inspector and senior officer. He died in December that year during the race riots, after remaining on duty for three days without eating or sleeping. In 1965, a new police station was built on another site. Everything except the Lockup and the Boab tree were removed from the site. The Lockup was occupied by the Historical Society as a museum until 1981, then by a community radio station, and a blacksmith business and café, and more recently galleries.
Modifications: Minimal interventions for adaptive re-use.

Kinney's Store, and the adjoining premises occupied by Bob's Shoe Store and Anastasia's Pearl Gallery, were formerly part of T. B. Ellies' store. Thomas Bastion Ellies was a jeweller and pearler, and the most famous of the Broome pearl cleaners. He took a ten-year lease on premises in Napier Terrace in 1906. In 1919, he purchased part of Lot 4, the site of Kinney's store, where a billiard saloon was operating on the corner of John Chi Lane. The billiard saloon was still operating in 1922, and Ellies purchased the adjoining portion of Lot 3 that year. The building on that site was a former residence. Ellies ran his jewellery store from these premises. When T. B. Ellies died in 1937, the premises passed to other members of the Ellies family. In 1976, Peter and Beverley Kinney and Brian County purchased the Lot 4 property.
