Broome

<p>Forging a striking silhouette against a spectacular red-gold Indian Ocean sunset, the camel trains run by Broome Camel Safaris and Sundowner Camel Tours on Cable Beach are famous across the globe.</p>

<p>Between March and October each year, when conditions are just right, visitors to the North West region are treated to a natural spectacle - the Staircase to the Moon. The unique natural phenomenon of a full moon rising over the exposed tidal flats of the Kimberley and Pilbara coastline is an unforgettable experience.</p>

<p>Ancient rock formations, untouched wilderness and remarkable wildlife – no place captures the imagination quite like the Kimberley coast.&nbsp;</p>

Walk in the footsteps of dinosaurs at Gantheaume Point, near Broome. Here, preserved in the reef rock for over 125 million years, are the footprints of long-extinct dinosaurs and a few plant fossils too, making it one of the best paleontological sites in the world.<br/><br/>Situated just five minutes drive from Broome, the footprints are only visible at low tide. However, you can view plaster casts of the dinosaur tracks embedded at the top of the cliff if the tide is high. Check tide times at the visitor centre in Broome before your head out to the point.<br/><br/>Just a short stroll to the northern side of Gantheaume Point and you'll find a touching piece of local history at Anastasia's Pool. This natural spa pool was lovingly modified by one of the early lighthouse keepers, making its therapeutic warm water easily accessible for his wife, who suffered terribly with arthritis.<br/><br/>The most thrilling way to reach Gantheaume Point is by zooming across the mudflats of Roebuck Bay on a hovercraft tour from Broome, then taking a guided walk among ancient footprints. Along the way, you can view coastal scenery, where red cliffs meet the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean.

Roebuck Bay is one of Broome’s most beautiful natural attractions. <br/><br/>The changing colours in the ebb and flow of Roebuck Bay are amazing. <br/><br/>At low tide, the milky turquoise waters retreat to expose a horizon of mud flats. <br/><br/>During the cooler months you can witness the Staircase to the Moon. This spectacular natural phenomenon is created the rising of a full moon reflecting off the tidal flats of Roebuck Bay.<br/><br/>The bay is also home to some incredible wildlife including hundreds of birds, making it popular for bird watching. <br/><br/>Roebuck Bay was named after explorer William Dampier’s vessel by the crew of the HMS Beagle who visited the bay in 1840.<br/><br/>Roebuck Bay surrounds the town of Broome and is easily accessible by car, or tour. <br/><br/>Broome is a two and a half hour flight from Perth.
