Welcome to Roebuck Bay. Yawuru Nagulagun

Описание: Welcome to Roebuck Bay. Yawuru Nagulagun

Nagula is Yawuru sea country, constantly changing with the tides and the seasons. Important to Yawuru people, this sea country serves up food, culture and stories. It has sustained the community for thousands of years. The park is jointly managed with the Yawuru traditional owners.

Much of the area, including the intertidal flats, mangroves and subtidal fringe is a Ramsar Wetland of International Significance. Roebuck Bay is an internationally significant wetland and one of the most important feeding grounds for migratory shorebirds in Australia. The area has possibly the greatest diversity of shorebird species for any site on the planet. That’s something to get your wings in a flap about!

‘The Bay’, as it’s known locally, is a place of great value to the community of Broome. There are many things to do here. Boating, fishing, kayaking, and birdwatching are all awesome. Speaking about awesome, walk on the rocks and you might be in for a prehistoric surprise. At low tide you can see the squished impressions of dinosaur prints. These awesome creatures walked on rocks here millions of years ago! @dinosauradventures

Who doesn’t like to see Australia’s marvellous marine mammals? There are lots of viewing opportunities on offer in the park. Australian snubfin and humpback dolphins visit the waters and humpback whales pass through on their annual migration.

As if all that wasn’t enough the moon puts on a show here too. At certain times of the year (for three nights per month between March-October) marvel at the ‘staircase to the moon’. This spectacle is caused by moonlight reflected from the ocean bed at extremely low tides. Come and see this over Roebuck Bay.
