Title : Napier Broome Bay, Western Australia, Australia November 1989

Caption :

This part of the northern coast of Western Australia includes the northern extent of the Kimberley Plateau (darker, more uniform looking features). The plateau consists of a number of low mountains, mostly composed of sandstone rocks. Although the elevations above sea level are not high (some peaks reach 3000 feet --900 meters) the general terrain is dramatically rugged and dissected by deep gorges. The peninsulas that jut northward into the Indian Ocean form three distinct bays: west to east they are Admiralty Gulf; Vansittart Bay; and Napier Broome Bay.
