Check Availability & Prices

Camel Tours

Broome Sunset Camel tours with Broome Camel Safaris is a popular Cable Beach activity. Take the Broome Cable Beach journey along the scenic 22 kilometres of beachfront, pose for instagrammable photos and experience stunning and unforgettable Western Australian sunsets. Bookings for camel tours in advance is highly recommended.

Staircase to the Moon Phenomenon

In the evenings the sunsets over Cable beach and as the moonrise at Roebuck Bay, an illusion of a long shimmery staircase merges known as the ‘Staircase to the Moon’. The natural phenomenon occurs thrice-monthly between April and October. It is caused by the rising of a full moon reflecting on the exposed mudflats on a low tide – creating a beautiful optical illusion of a staircase reaching up to the moon. On the West Pilbara Coast, the beautiful illusion is visible from Cossack Lookout and Hearson Cove, near Karratha.  The Staircase Night Markets are held at the Town Beach Reserve on Robinson Street from May – October.

Broome Local Markets 

The Broome Courthouse Markets have become a major tourist attraction and host to over 100 creative stalls.  The markets are held in the beautiful heritage-listed gardens of the Broome Courthouse and operate between 8am -1pm every Saturday and Sundays during the dry season (April – October).

Broome’s Food Scene

Asian flavours are a reflection of Broome’s Asian ancestry and other cultural influences. Two Broome restaurants you must try are Zensai Japanese Fusion and Cichetti Club Italian restaurant.  Zensai is an intimate dining venue that seats only 28 guests, so bookings are essential.

Local Broome Brewery

Matso’s Broome Brewery is known as the most remote brewery in Australia. It is just outside of the town centre and the perfect place to sample award-winning craft beers and where you can learn more about the art of beer making on a Matso Brewery tour. Although beer and Ginger beer is their specialties, they offer a good selection of Australian wines, cocktails and boutique spirits.

The kitchen opens from breakfast to dinner (7am to 9pm) with a grazing menu outside of the main mealtimes. The menu has a large selection of local seafood, array of different meats including kangaroo and emu sausages.

Before leaving Broome, stop by the supermarket and stock up with food and drinks as there isn’t much on offer at your next stay at Eighty-Mile Beach Caravan Park. Eighty-Mile Beach is a 4-hour road-trip from Broome and half-way to Port Hedland, boasting beautiful turquoise waters and panoramic views along the coast on each side of the caravan park.

Eighty Mile Beach Accommodation | Caravans, Camping & Self-Contained Cabins

You can stay in one of the five, 2-bedroom self-contained, air-conditioned cabins with fully-equipped kitchen or plug your caravan into one of the 150 powered sites. Camping is also available. Cabin linen and towels are supplied for your convenience. The caravan park has direct beach access making it an ideal destination for water activities, boating, four-wheel driving, camping, seashell collecting, sunsets, wildlife and birdwatching. Eighty Mile Beach is one of the most important shorebird sites in Australia. Migratory shorebirds from around the world stop here to rest before flying north to the Mekong Delta (Vietnam) or south to the Antarctic.

For those looking for hotel-style accommodation, Ibis Styles Port Hedland is for you. The hotel is 2 km from the town centre and adjacent to an 18-hole golf course. It is close to excursion meeting points for activities such as whale watching and chartered fishing expeditions.

The hotel has an outdoor swimming pool and a terrace overlooking the Indian Ocean. Guest rooms are comfortable, air-conditioned with a balcony. Breakfast is included, and the hotel has a bistro with outdoor dining and two bars. Free parking is available on site.

Port Hedland is located in the Pilbara region of Western Australia; 240 kilometres from Eighty Mile Beach. The main centre is the city of Karratha; 2.5 hours’ drive from the township of Port Hedland. Karratha is a small coastal town and the biggest town before Port Hedland. It has a unique identity and a rich multi-cultural heritage. The stunning region has an active arts and cultural community across all art forms. Matt Dann Theatre & Cinema in Port Hedland and Karratha’s major events – Cossack Art Awards (July), Red Earths Arts Festival (September) and inaugural Karijini Dinner Experience (April) are the biggest drawcards on the region’s calendar.

Dampier Archipelago Natural Beauty

Nearby Dampier township and Dampier Archipelago are a haven for snorkellers, divers, campers, boaties and beach lovers. It is made up of 42 coastal islands and islets, offering visitors the opportunity to explore coral reefs or engage in other water activities. Amazing Aboriginal rock art of kangaroos, fish, and turtles dating back over 10,000 years are visible. Hawksbill turtles and five other turtle species come here to nest on the beaches. Humpback whales, dolphins and dugongs often frolic in the turquoise waters. The Dampier Archipelago is rich in marine biodiversity, and on land, there is an abundance of wildlife from northern quolls to Rothschild rock wallabies.

Scuba Divers Delight

Delambre, Legendre, Kendrew, Rosemary and Enderby are regarded as the best dive locations off the mainland with crystal clear waters – where visibility can reach over 30 metres (100 feet).

Ibis Styles Karratha is an ideal base for exploring Millstream-Chichester National Park, Dampier Archipelago Islands, beaches, restaurants, shopping and nearby attractions. The modern and comfortable hotel has 47 hotel rooms, an outdoor swimming pool, BBQ area, licensed restaurant, three bars, a bottle shop and conference room facilities. Guests enjoy a peaceful retreat to relax and unwind after a long day of sightseeing. Complimentary continental breakfasts and free wi-fi are included in the hotel room rate. Karratha Ibis Styles is the perfect base for your holiday in Western Australia’s magnificent Pilbara District.

Swim with Whale Sharks

The drive from Karratha to Coral Bay is 5.5 hours or 527 kilometres. It is impossible to visit all the wonderful attractions along the west coast of Australia. If you don’t want to spend the majority of your holiday travelling in a car, then you need to choose your west coast destinations well. You will be faced with the difficult decision of choosing between Monkey Mia and Ningaloo Reef. In this blog, I am featuring Ningaloo Reef because I believe there is more on offer there. Why pay to feed the dolphins at Monkey Mia, when you can swim with them at Ningaloo?

The town itself offers a good choice of accommodation, restaurants, cafes and shops. But book early during the peak season to secure your piece of this natural paradise.

Ningaloo Reef

After the longish drive from Karratha, be rewarded by the beauty of Ningaloo Reef, the world’s largest fringing reef. The world heritage listed 5,000 square kilometre reef is just a few steps from the white sandy beach of Coral Bay. Immerse yourself with the abundant marine life while diving, snorkelling or fishing in clear turquoise waters and near-perfect year-round weather conditions. Or stay dry and view the coral gardens from the comforts of a glass-bottom boat or take to the skies on a scenic flight and see the spectacle from above.

It’s one of the few places in the world where you can encounter the biggest fish in the ocean – the whale shark. These gentle marine giants can be found off the west coast of Australia from March to July each year. Whale watching tours run from June to November. Other marine kinds such as dugongs, manta rays and turtles can be enjoyed year-round sightings. Ningaloo is also a premier game fishing destination. Coral Bay’s fishing charters specialise in chasing quality reef fish like Spanish mackerel, emperor, bream and hard-fighting catch like tuna, marlin, and sailfish. There is lots to do or nothing to do at Coral Bay – it’s all up to you.

Nature Wonder

Located on the beachfront, Ningaloo Reef Resort is a short stroll from the beach. The resort offers comfortable rooms with a small kitchenette, lounge/dining space, private bathroom, air conditioning and complimentary in-house movies. Each room has either stunning ocean views or both garden and pool views. Guests can swim in the outdoor swimming pool, lounge in the gardens or take a leisurely stroll at sunset on the peaceful Coral Bay beach. Dine in the casual atmosphere of Shades Café, where seafood sourced from the Coral Bay area is served. The Ningaloo Reef Resort onsite café bar also serves an excellent range of cocktails and other refreshing beverages.

Carnarvon Blowholes

The jets of water erupt towards the sky, creating an impressive sight. The blowholes are well worth the drive, all by bitumen road and easily accessible by two-wheel vehicles.

Just one kilometre south of the blowholes is a stunning beach and coral-filled lagoon with an abundance of fish and shells. This area is a great family picnic spot and ideal for snorkelling. It is also a fabulous camping area with an overnight fee payable to the site ranger. There are toilet facilities, but no water so go prepared. Although the coast is calm and yet rugged, care and caution must be taken at all times.

Augusta is 3.5 hours’ drive south of Perth or 320 kilometres. This west coast of Australia roadtrip comes to an end in Augusta. You may decide to drive on further to Adelaide in South Australia or return to Perth to fly home. But, before you leave Western Australia, there are a number of interesting places to visit along the way from Perth to Augusta. You will be captivated by the stunning beauty of the beaches, vineyards and landscape that this region is most appreciated for.

Bunbury is the fourth largest city by population in Western Australia. The Bunbury waterfront precinct is the perfect place to stop for lunch before spending the afternoon swimming with wild dolphins at Koombana Bay. If you don’t want to get wet, then join a wildlife cruise or get up close and personal with the wild dolphins in the interaction area at the shoreline. Mash Brewhouse is also located on Bunbury’s waterfront. You can watch the day float by and sample Bunbury’s impressive premier craft beers off the tap. Open 7 days a week from 11:00am and the kitchen is open every day.

Busselton Western Australia

Just 40 minutes from Bunbury is the longest jetty in the Southern Hemisphere. The 1.8-kilometre Busselton Jetty is the main drawcard to this vibrant coastal town. You can choose to walk the jetty by foot or take the Stocker Preston petit train for stunning 360-degree views across the Indian Ocean. At the end of the jetty and 8-metres below the ocean’s surface is an Underwater Observatory. This natural wonder lies beneath the jetty, where the piles create an artificial reef which plays host to tropical and sub-tropical corals, sponges, fish and invertebrates. Busselton also offers excellent beach walks or take a scroll on the destinated paths along the shoreline.

Ngili Cave

The magnificent Ngili Cave near Yallingup is just 30 minutes from Busselton. This cave is embellished with stunning stalactites, stalagmites and helictites. Semi-guided cave tours run for approximately one-hour and begin with an introductory talk while being led down into the first chamber or Amphitheatre.

The ‘Adventure Tour’ gives thrill-seekers the opportunity to venture off the boardwalks and explore the cave in more depth.

You can choose to stay in either Bunbury or Busselton on your road trip to Augusta. Although, Bunbury is a lovely port town, Busselton and Dunsborough are more pleasant holiday destinations.

Before heading back to Perth airport or continuing your journey south, take time to visit the many wonderful attractions in and around Augusta in Western Australia. In this article I haven’t included the Margaret River Wine region as that’s an entirely other blog! However, I will say, you are a stone’s through away from some of the best Australian wineries and wines. So, do yourself a favour and allow enough time to spend at least a few days sampling some of Australia’s best wines and local produce.

Cape Naturaliste to Cape Leeuwin Walk

The Cape to Cape Track between Cape Naturaliste in Dunsborough and Cape Leeuwin in Augusta offers walkers breathtaking scenery and varied landscape. Each year between June and December, you get the chance to spot thousands of migrating humpback whales from the Western Australian coast.

Intricate decorations stretch and are suspended across the ceiling of the cave like vines and dancing cobwebs. Above ground enjoy lunch at the Jewel Cave cafe and take the self-guided forest tour through the giant Karri trees.

Augusta Whale Watching

One of the best places to whale watch in Western Australia is in the Margaret River Region. From late May to end of August, Humpbacks and Southern Right Whales make the epic migration journey. The largest population of Humpbacks in the world leave Antarctica and begin their long migration to warmer, northern waters to reach important calving grounds. Flinders Bay in Augusta is their first port of call with the best time to see them during June and August.

Well, I hope you found this lengthy West Coast of Australia article useful and encouraged to visit some of the less known areas of Western Australia. No matter which season of the year you choose to visit the west coast of Australia, I promise you won’t be disappointed.

Western Australia’s northern and southern parts have completely contrasting climates. The north is tropical and experiences more rainfall than its southern counterparts. Regional coastal towns in the south are the most popular places to live and attract visitors looking for a more Mediterranean climate. February is the hottest month in Perth with the average daily temperature being 31.7°C (89.1°F) and 18.4°C (65.1°F) overnight. The sea temperature is also the warmest in February 22°C (72°F) and June is the wettest month with an average rainfall of 140mm.

Western Australia’s Fremantle Doctor 

Life can become rather uncomfortable during WA’s hot summers. However, Western Australia’s low humidity and lovely afternoon sea breeze known as the ‘Fremantle Doctor’, help to make the weather more bearable. People often refer to W.A. as “Windy As” because Perth is the third windiest capital city in the world, and this is mainly due to the frequency of the Fremantle Doctor. WA beaches are also very popular for wind and kite surfers.

Drivers Beware

Be on the lookout for wildlife and animals wandering on Australian roads especially between dusk and dawn. It is not unusual to see kangaroos, cattle, sheep, horses and other animals grazing by the roadside. Swerving to avoid hitting something on the road can have disastrous consequences!

Before any road trip in Australia, it is essential that your vehicle is in good mechanical order and that you carry spare tyres, towing ropes, a toolkit and first aid kit. You must know how much fuel is required to reach your next petrol station. Don’t forget to pack sufficient food supplies and more water than you think you need, should you have a break-down as help will certainly take much longer to arrive.

Road Safety First

Driving is the most dangerous thing we do every day. Click here for the maps that pinpoint locations of all crashes in which a person was killed or seriously injured between 2013 and 2017 in Western Australia. Educate yourself about the ‘Black Spots” and danger zones, an Australian Government road safety initiative.
