In Broome, Australia, the moon is only a few steps away. One of the most unique natural attractions in Western Australia is the Staircase to the Moon, a phenomenon caused by the rising of the full moon. Reflecting against the exposed mudflats in Roebuck Bay at the peak of low tide, the glowing light off the ocean creates a stunning optical illusion of a staircase reaching toward the moon. When you're on a locum tenens assignment, you have three chances each month between March and October to see this one-of-a-kind creation of Mother Nature.
The exotic Roebuck Bay is one of the most beautiful attractions in all of Broome, primarily for its unique scenery such as the lit-up staircase. To give the monthly event the attention it deserves, town officials have organized Staircase Night Markets, where colorful local stalls reside under the stars, featuring Broome cuisine and handcrafted arts. Jewelry, clothing, local mango products, candles and photographic art are all favorite items that you can find while gazing at the moon hanging over the Pacific.
Along with shopping and grubbing on local fare, you can enjoy live music while relaxing on a blanket on the beach, snapping away with your camera to make sure you capture this unforgettable moment of your locum tenens journey.
