Today affectionately known as “The Roey”, The Roebuck Bay Hotel was established in 1880 by E.W. Streeter and was one of the first buildings in Broome when it was just a tiny settlement town.
E.W. Streeter was a London Jeweller who held pearling interests in Broome and South-East Asia. At the time of building the Roebuck Bay Hotel he was also establishing Streeters’ Store, selling pearls and Mother of Pearl to visitors and locals alike.
The Roebuck was built to encourage the pearling lugger crews to remain in Broome and it was here that they would relax and unwind after their long days at sea. The original building was destroyed in a fire in 1904 which led to the rebuilding of the main building, though the integrity of the Roey remains the same today.
The Roebuck Bay Hotel has changed hands many times over the years and had many renovations and changes. Mrs Nightingail purchased the hotel in 1955 and made extensive renovations, including the addition of pre-made bedrooms which were transported by semi-trailer from Perth. In 1973 the hotel was bought by The Swan before prominent Broome identity, Brian Coppin purchased the hotel in the late 1980’s and made a number of extensions and renovations which created the Roey as the building that we know and love today;
The front bar was reshaped, the separated indigenous bar (now the TAB) was abolished and the beer garden was transformed into our superb live music venue, Oasis . To top it all off he created two story accommodation with a tropical swimming pool and opened the Pearlers Bar and Bistro & in the early 2000’s Coppin branched out further and snapped up the local nightclub Skylla, just a stones throw away from the Roey.
The Roebuck Bay Hotel is an integral piece of Broome history and helped formed the foundation of this beautiful town and the bonds of the people within it. We like to think that we continue to provide a hub of community atmosphere and that is why there is no more authentic Broome experience than a visit to the “Roey".

Marc Ferrell’s Tidal Dance got her preferred trip Sunday afternoon in the 35th running of the $65,000 Affectionately Stakes at Aqueduct Racetrack, tucking in behind the early leaders before taking charge and drawing off to win by 2½ lengths.
Making her fourth start for trainer Mike Hushion and her second over the inner track, the 5-year-old daughter of Pleasant Tap galloped along comfortably in third behind pacesetting Yes She’s a Lady and longshot All Night Labor through early fractions of 23.84 and 48.18. Angled out by jockey Ramon Dominguez at the three-eighths pole, she made the lead nearing the quarter pole and never looked back.
“I was happy with where we were early in the race,” Dominguez said. “It actually set up exactly the way I thought it would. She took the lead a little earlier than I wanted to, but she was doing it easily. I saw the other horse [No. 2 Pumpkin Shell] making a run at me on the big screen, but I knew we were home safe so I didn’t really get after her the last bit of the race.”
Her final time for the 1 1/16 miles over a muddy track was 1:46.64.
“It was perfect,” Hushion said of the winner’s trip. “She was able to kiss the fence the whole way around and Ramon inched her out when it was time. And, it was great the way he took care of her the last sixteenth of a mile, I love it when a rider does that.”
With today’s victory, Tidal Dance improved her record to 4-5-2 from 19 starts and increased her earnings to $177,506. She returned $4.70 as the favorite in the field of six.
Affectionately called the "Food Bank Express", our first rail shipment of donated food traveled free of charge from Toronto to Western Canada on February 13, 1997. At the time, the commitment for the year was to haul at least one container (40-foot) per month to distribution centres in Vancouver and Calgary on an alternating basis.

St Botolph's - affectionately known as the 'Stump' - is the largest building in England that has always been a parish church.
The building of the present church is believed to have begun in 1309, replacing a Norman church, but Christianity in Boston goes back to the 7th century when an Anglo-Saxon missionary monk named Botulph or Botolph is believed to have preached there, and founded a church.
One possible explanation for the town's name is that the place was called Botolph's Stone, later shortened to Boston. Medieval Latin documents show that Bostonians were known as 'viri Sancti Botolphi', St Botolph's men'.
The church, except the tower, was probably completed by about 1390. Early in the 15th century the eastwardly leaning pillars may have necessitated the reroofing of the church; at the same time the aisles were 'modernised'. The chancel was lengthened and repairs were carried out to the nave. The building of the tower was probably started early in the 15th century and took 70 yrs to complete. No one really knows why it is called the 'Stump', although it does resemble a tree with its boughs lopped ready for felling.
