Popular Attractions Along the Way

Malcolm Douglas Crocodile Park
10 miles out of town, Malcolm Douglas Crocodile Park affords a chance to get up close and personal with legendary Australian wildlife: crocs, cassowaries, kangaroos, wallabies, emus, kookaburras, dingoes, snakes, and more. The park claims some of the largest crocodiles in Australia, representing five species of crocodiles and alligators. Three o’clock is feeding time, a chance to see the agile crocs literally leap for their food.

Cable Beach
Broome’s 13.6 mile long iconic Indian Ocean beach sports dazzling colours: pure white sands, turquoise waters, and tall red cliffs. Named for the telegraph cable that connected Broome with Java in 1889, Cable Beach is a popular locale for camel riding, and several types of turtles nest here October through February. At the southern end of Cable Beach, Gantheaume Point allows for viewing of migratory whales and dolphins, along with 130-million-year-old fossil dinosaur footprints.

Gantheaume Point Cliffs
Just ten minutes from Broome’s town centre and adjacent to Western Australia’s famous Cable Beach lies one of the area’s most photographed locales, Gantheaume Point. Here the desert meets the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean and red rock cliffs overlook a white sandy beach.

Kings Park
One of the largest inner-city parks in the world, Kings Park is well known for its panoramic views from Mt Eliza across the Swan River and the Darling Range. Just west of Perth’s CBD, Kings Park showcases natural bushland and native vegetation; over 3,000 species of Western Australian flora are on display within the Western Australian Botanic Garden.
The park is also home to the State War Memorial and Bali Memorial, as well as the ancient Gija Jumulu (Giant Boab), estimated to be over 750 years old and relocated from the Kimberley. Every September, the Everlasting Kings Park Festival celebrates the diversity and beauty of Western Australia’s wildflowers.
