North West
The North West region is one of the world’s
last true wilderness areas, some parts are still
truly isolated. Watch an ocean sunset by camel
train, walk with dinosaurs and ride a horizontal
waterfall. Enjoy exploring this extraordinary
outback.

Staircase to the Moon – the rising of the full moon reflects off the exposed
mud flats at low tide creating an optical illusion of stairs reaching to the
moon.
