There’s also the exquisite Turquoise Bay where you can spend time swimming and snorkeling.
Horizontal Waterfalls
Best known as “one of the greatest wonders of the natural world” – thanks to its super unique natural look. It is just like a waterfall, except that it flows horizontally!

Broome
You can take a flight from Perth to this land of matchless natural beauty and historic landmarks. Gaze at the beautiful Cable Beach with its awe-inspiring red cliffs and impressive white sand, look out for the famous dinosaur footprints in Broome and be ready to get enchanted by a unique natural phenomenon here, called ‘Staircase to the moon’. During a full moon night, the moon rises over the bay and its reflection is captured on the azure water giving the impression of steps leading to up to the moon! Wow!
