A long stretch!

Eighty Mile Beach
An isolated beach on the north west coast of Australia. 300 kms from Broome, 250 kms from Port Hedland. It is almost as far away from Melbourne as you can get.

Not a person in sight. You can walk for miles and just enjoy the serenity.

And the sunsets are magnificent!


The bird life is a bit limited, but that's OK. There are few seagulls and other shorebirds, together with the odd kite around the sandhills.

Still it's a great place to visit for peace and quiet. There are myriads of shells spread along the beach, and you can even have a dip in the shallow waters.

Just one little problem.....
you can't get anywhere near the water for a few hours around high tide.

The transformation is unbelievable - and stretches as far as the eye can see.
