Other than the camels of Cable Beach, we knew little of this coastal town. Oh, we remember cyclone warnings too, but knew little else.

Stairway to the Moon
When I visited Broome back in 1989, I timed my visit for the Stairway to the Moon, but as luck would (or would not) have it, both days were very cloudy, so it was not possible to see the moonrise. Thanks for providing such lovely photographs of what I missed more than 20 years ago.

Glad you like pics. While up Cape Leveque we saw some large pearly shells - If the pearly gates are like these, then I want a good camera up there too.
