Things to do in Broome, Western Australia: The Best Nature & Wildlife Areas

March 26, 2022 Sachiko Swiger

The beaches of tropical Broome aren’t just beautiful—they’re historic. The white-sand Cable Beach is named for an undersea telegraph cable that was laid in the late 1800s, connecting Broome to Singapore. A short hop over the dunes is Minyirr Park, and, on the eastern shore, Town Beach is home to a famous natural phenomenon, the Staircase to the Moon. Time-travel to the prehistoric era by heading to Gantheaume Point to check out 130-million-year-old dinosaur footprints.

Had a fabulous time at BBO when we visited recently for a few days. Bird watching can be done from the camp kitchen/shade house as the birds come to the bird baths or short walks around the property and down to the sea shore. We also went on a great bird 'safari' with the warden and assistant warden onto the 'plains'. The facilities were great for campers with partially shaded spots, great showers etc. A friendly crew of mainly volunteers look after the place and guests.
