The wet t-shirt competition that still survives
On a sweaty night in Broome during the wet season, eight young women sway and convulse on a beer garden stage.
They're moving in time to a throbbing R and B track - "you are my horny babe... my only horny babe..."
The women are clad only in scraps of white cotton which they pluck and [www.goldengooseshoesit.com] tear at to expose increasing amounts of flesh.
Two stocky men in singlets and thongs gyrate behind the girls, tipping jugs of water over each.
The crowd of more than 500 howls happily.
Some girls shuffle awkwardly, others are in their element as they shimmy, squat and eventually rip their shirts off. Each, though, has their eye firmly set on the $500 prize up for grabs.
The wet t-shirt competition is the most popular weekly gathering in Broome, a supposedly cosmopolitan tourist town that draws both upmarket resort tourists and hordes of sunburnt backpackers.
Does this raunchy ritual suit Broome's reputation as a slightly wild frontier town? Or is it a throwback to a different era when it was perfectly acceptable for men to ogle stripping women in front of their wives and girlfriends?
Welcome to the red light district of Broome 2010.Historically wildBroome has a long history of vice and vulgarity.
The local historical society says the town was at its wildest more than 100 years ago, when Malay, Chinese and Japanese pearl workers slugged away as English aristocrats built pearling mansions on stilts.
Opium dens and brothels clustered on Kennedy Hill, less than 100 metres from where today's weekly strip show plays out.
Archival video footage from the early '80s shows the wet t-shirt competition was incorporated into the town's Shinju Matsuri, or Festival of the Pearl, for a period.
The grainy vision shows a ute-load of scantily clad Golden Goose Shoes women swinging to reggae as part of the festival's annual float parade, smack bang through the middle of town.
