Ongoing Natural Events


Staircase to the Moon, 01 Mar - 25 Oct 2010, Broome

This natural phenomenon occurs when the full moon rises over the exposed mudflats at extremely low tide, creating the optical illusion of a staircase reaching to the moon. Staircase to the moon occurs from March to October along the North West Coast and the best viewing spots are at Hearson Cove, Karratha and Roebuck Bay, Broome.


Whale Shark Season, 01 Apr - 31 Jul 2010, Exmouth

Every year from April to July, following the mass spawning of coral, the world's biggest species of fish congregate in the Ningaloo Marine Park. These are the whale sharks! The chance to snorkel with these gentle giants is the opportunity of a lifetime and visitors from all over the world head to the Ningaloo Reef during whale shark season.


Marine Turtles in Ningaloo Marine Park, Dec - Mar, Exmouth

Ningaloo Reef and adjacent islands are one of the world's major breeding areas for sea turtles. During the breeding season between December and March, Green and Loggerhead turtles make their way up the beaches to lay their eggs.

Night tours provide the opportunity to watch the turtles make their long arduous journey up the beaches to lay their eggs or to watch the hatchlings scramble down to the water's edge.

The best beaches to view sea turtles laying and hatching are from Hunters Access down to Wobiri Access.
