Along this part of the coast there are a number of locations where there are footprints left in the rocks by different types of dinosaurs. We happened to be in Broome when a particularly large tide was occurring, caused by the sun and the moon being in alignment (which also created the solar eclipse in the UK). At the very lowest tides you can go down to Ganthaume Point and see the exposed footprints, so we checked the tide times and got down there at first light. They are hard to find, but fortunately there was a group from the university of Queensland studying them and they were happy to point us in the right direction and explain a little bit about them.
As an added bonus, with the low tide, we found a number of different corals exposed on the rocks.
