Bart Pigram is a Yawuru man from the West Kimberley region of northwest Australia. Born and bred in Broome Bart has a passion for telling the complete story of life in Broome. Drawing on knowledge gained from living a saltwater lifestyle as well as professional training as a curator Bart started Narlijia Tours in 2015. Narlijia means ‘true for you’ in the Yawuru (Australian Aboriginal) language reflecting Bart’s wish to tell the ‘entire’ story sharing his Aboriginal and multicultural perspective first hand.

Being part of the large Pigram-Puertollano family Bart belongs to a long tradition of pearling workers and musicians. This heritage enables Bart many rich and fascinating stories of life around the beautiful turquoise waters of Roebuck Bay, Broome.

A natural entertainer you can join Bart on one of his unique tours of Broome and the Bay and see the country and lifestyle from his unique perspective including Dampier Creek and the rich pickings in the mangrove forests and on the jabalbal (mudflats)


A valuable experience for Australians interested in indigenous matters. We did a one-hour tour with Bart in Broome a few days ago. We asked for a focus on Aboriginal matters, which he provided very effectively. He is an articulate personable young man, well-informed and balanced on indigenous issues. We learnt an enormous amount of interesting information about the local Aboriginal clans, their traditional culture and how they have worked together to make positive advances through their successful Native Title claim. In short, a most valuable and memorable experience which we highly recommend.
