Bailey Banfield Persevering Parents Growing Up In A Farm

Bailey Banfield father Robert and mother Debbie Banfield are successful pearls businessmen. 

The Banfield family's connection to the pearling industry in Broome is rooted in their ancestry. They moved to the seaside town and procured the Willie Creek Pearl Farm, turning it into a successful business encompassing the travel industry, retail, and pearl collecting.

The family's patriarch, Robert, is in his mid-fifties. He is tall, standing at five feet nine inches, and weighs seventy kilograms. He has a strong presence, short hair, an oval face, and a distinguished character.

Debbie is also tall, standing at five feet six inches, and weighs 65 kg. 

Debbie is of Asian descent, while her husband, Robert, hails from a humble community in Western Australia. Together, they have another child named Mackenzie.

Bailey had a difficult time during the 2016 AFL Draft but eventually found success playing in the Western Australian Football League for the Claremont Football Club.

In addition to their successful business, the Banfield's have also made generous contributions to their community, such as donating pearl jewelry worth $15,950 to a local football club.

From the beginning, the Banfield family business has been quite successful. Their Ancestors are the source of the Pearl business's history.

The discovery of a pearl at Willie Creek Pearl Farm has amazing staff and guests. The pearl harvested in front of tour attendees is a 20.12 mm round pearl with exceptional luster, and pink gem tones are hidden within a Pinctada maxima oyster.

Weighing an impressive 11.847g, this pearl is considered the most valuable single pearl ever harvested at the farm, with a value estimated at at least AUD 150,000.

This is a significant increase from the previous record set in 2019 when a pearl was harvested valued at $75,000.

Robert, the owner of Willie Creek Pearls, shared his excitement and emotions over the discovery, stating that it is a privilege to produce something considered among the best in the world. This pearl is truly one of a kind and has never been seen before.

Bailey's Experience In The Farm

A visit to Willie Creek Pearls, a family-owned pearl farm, can be an exhilarating and unforgettable experience. The rough road leading to the farm and the tidal flats add to the excitement of the journey.

The farm has a strong family culture reflected in its operations which is considered one of its major strengths. The farm owner states that the close bond between family members is emphasized by the phrase, "no one tells the truth like family."

This bond is now more critical than ever as the farm is facing its most significant challenge yet, the temporary closure of all seven showrooms due to the ongoing pandemic. However, the online store remains open 24/7, allowing customers to find their perfect pearl.

Willie Creek Pearls have a history of supporting the Broome and Perth communities. Now more than ever, it is essential for the community to come together to ensure the survival of the business and the jobs it provides.
