At Gantheaume Point near Broome see ancient dinosaur footprints that are more than 120 million years old.

You can see the footprints in the rocky reef area when the tide it low.

A plaster cast of the tracks has been embedded at the top of the cliff for anyone who visits at high tide, or if you don’t want to walk on the reef.

As well as harbouring these unique dinosaur footprints, Gantheaume Point offers stunning coastal scenery.

Here, the fiery red cliffs meet the turquoise water of the Indian Ocean in dramatic fashion.

On the northern side of Gantheaume Point is Anastasia’s Pool. This rock pool was built by a former lighthouse keeper for his wife who was crippled with arthritis.

Gantheaume Point is a five minute drive from the centre of Broome.
