Goolarabooloo Millibinyarri is an Aboriginal community, located 12 km north of Broome in the Kimberley region of Western Australia, within the Shire of Broome.

Goolarabooloo Millibinyarri is located north of Broome along the coast, in a locality known as Coconut Wells.

Coconut Wells is a small rural living subdivision with about 30 lots. The area was originally established in the 1970s with thoughts of becoming a plantation area, however this did not eventuate due to a lack of available water.

Millibinyarri was established by Paddy Roe in the mid-1970s according to his grandson, Ronald Roe.
