Broome Bird Observatory

In March and April, immense flocks of waders can be watched as they depart to their breeding grounds in the northern hemisphere.

[1] Broome Bird Observatory is set in pindan woodland on the northern shore of Roebuck Bay.

It was formally opened in 1990 and continues to provide accommodation and birdwatching opportunities for visitors, tours, courses, as well as research facilities for scientists and ornithological expeditions.
