Streeters Jetty is looking refreshed this morning as the tide is coming in. Some locals were getting excited about mullet they saw swimming under the jetty and rushed to their cars to get nets.:)

An imposing statue of Sam Male, Broome’s inaugural Shire President 1961-66, and also a driving force in the revival of the pearling industry in the 20thC.

Simpson beach is tucked away in the port area…but after I found it, have gone back to see the difference in landscape in changing tidal conditions – today offers marvellous orange and turquoise hues in the water.

Staircase to the Moon is a natural phenomenon which occurs when a full moon rises over the exposed tidal flats of Roebuck Bay. It happens 2 – 3 days a month between March and October. And it’s happening tonight @ precisely 18.26. Woo hoo! I was sitting on the pub deck of the Mangrove Hotel from 4pm, waiting with tripod and camera; locals were commenting about the level of cloud and potentially the moon’s position might be blocked out. No siree! The full appearance took about 10 minutes and was delightful, with lots of oohs and aahs from the sizeable crowd, and a didgeridoo played in the background – very atmospheric and special.
