A small historical town on the North West Coastal Highway - north of Karratha in West Australia. The Roebourne Visitor Information Centre and Old Gaol Museum is a must see in town with beautiful old stone building established over several decades. The museum tells the story of the pioneering days of this region. This was a gold rush town and many of the old buildings in town have been restored.
Roebourne is in the Pilbara Region and close to Karijini and Millstream-Chichester national parks - with stunning gorges. Not far away is the small historical village of Cossack which is one of the coastal locations in West Australia where you can view the Staircase to the Moon phenomenon - only at certain times of the year.
