1. Cossack
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 110 reviews
Situated at the heart of the Pilbara coastal region, Cossack is a town alive with history and culture. Just 50km from the modern city of Karratha, Cossack is a peaceful and tranquil spot. Stay in the comfortable B&B accommodation or one of the camping sites and explore the natural and man-made beauty of the local area. It is also a great base from which to explore the region’s highlights such as Roebourne, Point Samson, Millstream Chichester National Park and the Burrup Peninsula’s Murujuga National Park. The Cossack site features a popular café and souvenir shop, museum set amongst the town’s restored historical buildings. There are excellent walks, safe swimming and snorkelling in and around the stunning Settlers Beach. The fishing is hard to beat. Particularly if you get out on the water. Cossack Boat Hire offers a range of boats for hire, by the hour or day.

Decided to drive and have look on our way to Point Samson. It was really interesting to read about the history of Cossack town as you wondered through it.

Had a tour with Leann and Dale from the Murujuga Rangers. Excellent knowledge of the area, rock art, history, flora and fauna. There was only two of us and they came all the way out to give us a tour! Can’t stress how incredible the place is. Definitely recommend. Keep up the good work!

What a beautiful visitors center. We are driving from Broome to Perth and have many stops along the way. We search out visitors centers in the towns we stay the night to get up to date information. The ladies working there were more than helpful. They have a beautiful place to work and you could tell they enjoyed their job.

7. Carawine Gorge

Reviewed By 336wallyh - Perth, Australia
A long drive from, Marble Bar, so quiet and peaceful, a good drive over the sand (rocky river bed) to find a site but there are plenty. No facilities at all, be fully self contained. The water is not so attractive but the red sandstone cliffs on t’other side of the river are magnificent. Truly a lovely place and make a detour to look at the glacier polished rocks on the way in.
8. Staircase To The Moon

If you want the natural phenomenon, this version is probably second best, best being Settlers Beach at Cossack. No markets and way less people so much more enjoyable with a picnic and a chilled drink.

We started the trail from behind the Leisure Plex, and it took about 40 minutes to reach the top. The path is well defined but steep. There is an installation at the top, with artworks and information. And amazing views!!!
