Voices of Broome - Meet Dr Ben Collins

Once, Ben was literally the Voice of Broome - at onetime being the longest standing journalist with ABC Radio, for the Kimberley.

That was until, in his late 40's, Ben decided to study medicine to become a doctor. Fortunately for Broome, Dr Ben Collins has returned to Broome to practise medicine. Come along and hear about Ben's remarkable journey.

Broome's Mangoes, Muddies and Memories- Recipes and Recollections Community Project

Please enjoy a digital copy of our community book Broome's Mangoes, Muddies and Memories - Recipes and Recollections.

Mangoes, Muddies and Memories - Recipes and Recollections.(PDF, 20MB)

This book presents stories and recipes from the Broome community along with Library historical archive materials, including excerpts from historic cookbooks, menus from memorable restaurant and archival photographs.

Whether it’s our love of ‘catch and cook’, dealing with the bounty of our seasonal gardens, enjoying our food festivals, a treat from the community markets, or sharing food with family and friends, food is a community connector.

Enjoy!
