Dampier Peninsula
DAMPIER PENINSULA ACTIVITIES AND TRAVEL | Dampier Peninsula Information
Dampier Peninsula is situated along the north
east coast of Western Australia within the famous Kimberley. Around
half of the Peninsula is covered by Aboriginal land, and so you
should check with the Tourist Information Centre in Broome about
the areas where you may not be permitted. However, there are several
places where you can stay.
Travelling north across the Dampier Peninsula
from Broome is Willie Creek where you can visit and tour around
the Willie Creek Pearl Farm. Continuing north along
the peninsula you will pass the Coulomb Point Nature Reserve which
protects the bilby and the areas vegetation. The next two areas
that you pass are the Beagle Bay Aboriginal Community and the
Lombadina Aboriginal Community, both with pretty churches in the
centre of town. There are also mud-crabbing and fishing trips
available from Lombadina, which are great fun.
Continuing north you will reach Cape Leveque
which is home to the Cape Leveque Lighthouse. There are some fabulous
beaches beneath the cliffs and the views are fantastic. It is
possible to stay here at Kooljaman, which offers camping, and
units within the small resort.
