Staircase To The Moon

One of the most popular natural phenomena in Australia is the Staircase to the Moon.

It occurs when the full moon rises over the exposed tidal flats of the Kimberley and Pilbara coastline, creating the illusion of a set of stairs soaring from the horizon and into a star-filled night sky. One of the best places to experience this mesmerizing event is from the shore of Roebuck Bay in Broome, which attracts a lot of visitors with its night markets complementing the stunning vista. The lunar event happens 2-3 days a month between March and October, and there are other sites to experience it as well, including Cossack, Onslow, Karratha, and the Western edge of the Dampier Peninsula.

Witnessing the Staircase to the Moon is an extraordinary event that attracts many visitors to Broome. The lunar event, alongside live entertainment and markets, lasts for the first two days of its occurrence, creating a festive atmosphere for locals and visitors alike. The markets are held near the beach, adding to the beauty of the Roebuck Bay shoreline. Moreover, other activities to enjoy while waiting for the event include dinner and drinks with friends or family on the beach or at nearby restaurants.

There are many great spots to view the Staircase to the Moon, with Roebuck Bay being one of the best, as it provides an ideal vantage point to see the full spectacle. Visitors can also experience the event from Cossack, Onslow, Karratha, the Western edge of the Dampier Peninsula, and specially designed viewing platforms at Port Hedland and Point Samson.
