James Price Point (Walmadany)
Walmadany
A red coastal cliff about 55 km north of Broome, known to Indigenous people as Walmadany. Its red-and-white cliffs against the blue sea are spectacular.
This coastline lies on the southern Dampier Peninsula, where bright red earth cliffs, white dunes and emerald water create strong contrasts. There are also dinosaur footprints along the shore. The area was once the centre of large-scale environmental protests over a gas development plan, which was ultimately cancelled. Access is by sand track. A four-wheel drive is recommended, and it is best to travel in a group during the dry season. There are no facilities at all, so bring plenty of drinking water and fuel. This is traditional Indigenous land, so please respect local rules.
