At certain times each month between April to October tourists and locals alike come together in the charismatic town of Broome to experience a fantastic natural phenomena 'Staircase to the moon' caused by a rising full moon reflecting off the exposed mudflats at low tide on Roebuck Bay creating an optical illusion.
