Gantheaume Point

Gantheaume Point Road, Broome WA

Where the red pindan cliffs of the Dampier Peninsula meet the turquoise of the Indian Ocean, Gantheaume Point is Broome at its most painterly - ochre rock, white lighthouse, blue sea. At very low tide, dinosaur footprints pressed into the reef more than a hundred million years ago are exposed on the rocks below, and casts of them sit on the clifftop for when the sea is in. It is a favoured spot for sunset, when the low light sets the cliffs aflame. The colours here are so saturated they scarcely look real.
