Brooms Head is a small village surrounded by the Yuraygir National Park, 25km east of Maclean. The journey to Brooms Head usually incudes many sightings of emus and wallabies.
Brooms Head is one of those little beachfront villages that can be hard to find these days. Originally known as Cakora Point, the name Brooms Head was first used in 1870 when a broom thought to have come from a wreck of the schooner 'Eureka' was found washed up on the beach.
These days many locals affectionately refer to "The Broom" as their favourite holiday destination. Nestled in a pocket of headland surrounded by Yuraygir National Park, Brooms Head has timeless quality about it. Uncrowded beaches, friendly locals, away from the hustle and bustle, you'll find the Broom to be the perfect family holiday.
Characterised by beautiful beaches, the Brooms Head Lookout is a great viewing platform to spot migrating whales and pods of dolphins. Brooms Head is a haven for fisherman, swimmers & surfers. It offers walks through different habitats and opportunities for bird watching and nature photography.
