Staircase to the Moon

[Tropo-Bob (Bob)]

Anybody ever seen this in WA?

...the Staircase to the Moon, a phenomenon during certain conditions between March and October, where the moonlight creates an optical illusion of steps leading to the moon. From Broome ...

Many times, having both worked there , and visited my daughter and her family who lived there for many years. They have a very large tidal range,
and when the tide is a long way out, and the moon fairly low in the sky, it
looks like a ladder when the light reflects off of the shallow water in
between the ripples in the sand[which are exposed]. The ripples run parallel to the shoreline, so the reflection of the moon on the water
has many little gaps in it like the steps of a ladder.

Guys, I was just referencing from where I heard this idea. This is not spam, or meant to be an advert.

Just googled "Staircase to the Moon" plenty of nice images to see, apparently it's quite a famous phenomena.

Bob,

Went to Broome 18 months ago to see it.

Amazing. Was on my bucket list.

I was surprised that there were many tourists there to see it as well, so it’s become quite well known

Loved Broome and the whole experience.

Now also on my bucket list!

Thanks Rick, Leon & Raymo for your informative replies.

Not quite a staircase, more of a footpath, but there is a composite shot taken from our campsite at Elanda Point (SE Qld) back in 2007 on my Pentax *istDS.

Cheers
