TRAVEL TIPS
Tip 1 - Beach live Broome
Cable Beach is a well-known spot, so a visit here is mandatory. This white sandy beach offers many great activities. Broome has huge tidal movements and visiting the beach at low tide will provide you with a large expanse of sandy beach to enjoy - swimming, fishing, kayaking and surfing or just relax and soak up some sunshine.
Tip 2 – Sunset beer at Cable Beach
For a spectacular ocean sunset, Cable Beach will not disappoint. With colors ranging from purples and golds to fiery reds, the skies light up as the sun slowly sinks into the sea, providing picture perfect photo opportunities. Don’t be surprised that people visit Cable Beach with their 4WD!
Tip 3 – Iconic camel tour at Cable Beach
Cable Beach is famous for its iconic camel rides. Sitting high astride a camel while it walks rhythmically in time with the camel train gives you a different perspective of this magical location. We booked the tour directly at the beach.
Tip 4 – Dinner at Cable Beach Club Resort
Excellent food and beautiful location:
Tip 5 – Cape Leveque Road
The Cape Leveque Road is a regional road that runs through woodland for about 240 kilometers between Broome and Cape Leveque on the Dampier Peninsula. The unsealed and quite corrugated southern section of the road is often closed during the wet season when flooding makes it impassable.
Tip 6 – Kooljaman Wilderness Camp
Kooljaman at Cape Leveque is a remote wilderness camp owned and run by the Indigenous Bardi Jawi Communities. Situated on native title land, the locals invite you to share the astonishing diversity, pristine wilderness and unique landscape that celebrate this award-winning place as a once in a lifetime experience. Don’t forget to book in advance and early enough:
Tip 7 – Brian Lee Hunters Creek Tagalong Tour
Let Brian Lee share his country and unique Aboriginal perspective with you. Follow him down to the banks of Hunter’s Creek. Taste seasonal bush fruit and hear the ancient stories of a people who once walked this timeless landscape. Learn traditional fishing and crabbing methods. The tour concludes under a shady tree, where you cook up your catch - Bardi style on an open fire.
Tip 8 – Lombadina Community & Beach
Lombadina is an Aboriginal community on Cape Leveque. The place offers visitors a unique opportunity to experience the local way of life. Relax on white sandy beaches, characterized by pristine turquoise waters and experience the thrilling fishing and breathtaking whale watching.
Tip 9 – Bully's Bushcamp – Djoodoon
The track isn't on any maps. We came to the turn off to Djoodoon and as we went on through the sand and then some larger wet areas, we seriously started to doubt about our map reading skills. After close to 45 minutes, we arrived at Bully’s Camp. The ‘facilities’ were quite basic but it was simply great. The camp was run by a Vietnam vet who hasn’t really left there in a decade. Cygnet Bay is just beautiful. But no swimming here as there were mangroves and this side of the peninsula is croc habitat for sure.

Best beaches in the world? Steep Point West Australia
We took a trip to Steep point in Western Australia recently and it was unreal. And not to hard to get to. Only about 2 hours from Overlander roadhouse. Emu’s, Kangaroos, rays and a whole heap more spotted.
Destination WA - Dampier Archipelago
Spending time in the North West makes you realize how old WA is… The landscape is ancient and while the traditional owners have been here for thousands of years, European settlement has been relatively recent with some of the earliest contact happening right here off the coast of Dampier.
Karratha - Western Australia 2015
Karratha is located in a very hot area of the state with temperatures that peak in the high 40s. Over 260 days per year are over the 30C mark.
It was established as a satellite town for the port of Dampier when Dampier ran out of room for expansion. The name is derived from an Aboriginal word meaning good country. Other names suggested for the town include; Tanga-tanga, Hearson, Dixon and Nickol.
The area was first settled in 1866 by Dr Bayton and Mr. Whittal-Venn but the town was established much later in 1968.
Karratha Station was, for many years, the focal point of the area. Life on the station before development came to the Pilbara is described by Tish Lees in her book 'Lonely for my land'.
It is a major centre for iron ore workers and excellent modern shopping facilities are available, but it is a long way from anywhere. The current townsite was excised from Karratha Station.
The main highway bypasses the town and it is necessary to make a 7 kilometre detour to see the town centre.
Karratha is a good place to spend some time. The nearby towns of Cossack, Wickham, Point Samson and Roebourne make Karratha the ideal base from which to explore. The large mining companies in the area run tours of their facilities, notably Robe River Iron provides the best tour that includes Cape Lambert and Cossack.
Karratha is the only town in the area with a major industrial area (known as the LIA - Light Industrial Area).

The Great Barrier Reef is the world's largest coral reef system[1][2] composed of over 2,900 individual reefs[3] and 900 islands stretching for over 2,600 kilometres (1,600 mi) over an area of approximately 344,400 square kilometres (133,000 sq mi).[4][5] The reef is located in the Coral Sea, off the coast of Queensland, Australia.
The Great Barrier Reef can be seen from outer space and is the world's biggest single structure made by living organisms.[6] This reef structure is composed of and built by billions of tiny organisms, known as coral polyps.[7] It supports a wide diversity of life and was selected as a World Heritage Site in 1981.[1][2] CNN labeled it one of the seven natural wonders of the world.[8] The Queensland National Trust named it a state icon of Queensland.[9]
A large part of the reef is protected by the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park, which helps to limit the impact of human use, such as fishing and tourism. Other environmental pressures on the reef and its ecosystem include runoff, climate change accompanied by mass coral bleaching, and cyclic population outbreaks of the crown-of-thorns starfish. According to a study published in October 2012 by the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the reef has lost more than half its coral cover since 1985.[10]
The Great Barrier Reef has long been known to and used by the Aboriginal Australian and Torres Strait Islander peoples, and is an important part of local groups' cultures and spirituality. The reef is a very popular destination for tourists, especially in the Whitsunday Islands and Cairns regions. Tourism is an important economic activity for the region, generating over $3 billion per year.[11]
Due to its vast biodiversity, warm clear waters and accessibility from the tourist boats called live aboards, the reef is a very popular destination, especially for scuba divers. Tourism on the Great Barrier Reef is concentrated in the Whitsundays and Cairns due to their accessibility. These areas make up 7% of the Park's area.[50] The Whitsundays and Cairns have their own Plans of Management.[94] Many cities along the Queensland coast offer daily boat trips. Several continental and coral cay islands are now resorts, including the pristine Lady Elliot Island. As of 1996, 27 islands on the Great Barrier Reef supported resorts.[50]
Domestic tourism made up most of the tourism in the region as of 1996, and the most popular visiting times were in the Australian winter. It was estimated that tourists to the Great Barrier Reef contributed A$776 million per annum at this time.[95]
As the largest commercial activity in the region, it was estimated in 2003 that tourism in the Great Barrier Reef generates over A$4 billion annually.[96] (A 2005 estimate puts the figure at A$5.1 billion.[94]) Approximately two million people visit the Great Barrier Reef each year.[97] Although most of these visits are managed in partnership with the marine tourism industry, there is a concern amongst the general public that tourism is harmful to the Great Barrier Reef.[50]
A variety of boat tours and cruises are offered, from single day trips, to longer voyages. Boat sizes range from dinghies to superyachts.[98] Glass-bottomed boats and underwater observatories are also popular, as are helicopter flights.[99][100] By far, the most popular tourist activities on the Great Barrier Reef are snorkelling and diving, for which pontoons are often used, and the area is often enclosed by nets. The outer part of the Great Barrier Reef is favoured for such activities, due to water quality.
Management of tourism in the Great Barrier Reef is geared towards making tourism ecologically sustainable. A daily fee is levied that goes towards research of the Great Barrier Reef.[94] This fee ends up being 20% of the GBRMPA's income.[101] Policies on cruise ships, bareboat charters, and anchorages limit the traffic on the Great Barrier Reef.[94]
