Cara’s trip to Broome and the South Sea Pearl experience
Cara recently made a trip to Broome. Her boyfriend thought they might relax on the sunlounger at Cable Beach, but no, no, no…Cara was keen to expand her expertise on the sourcing and detail of Broome pearls. This involved adventures by boat and helicopter as she applied her usual thoroughness to this investigation
