Venue: Town Beach or The Mangrove Resort Hotel
This natural phenomenon is caused by the rising of a full moon reflecting off the exposed mudflats in Roebuck Bay at extremely low tide, to create a beautiful optical illusion of a staircase reaching to the moon. Staircase occurs March through to October.
