Pindan - What is it?


Don’t be alarmed, this photo isn’t evidence of an attack by crocodile or shark on the waiting surfers, even though there appears to be blood in the water. This is caused by the very high tide washing the famous and very distinctive red soils of Broome into the bay. Locally known as Pindan, these glorious stretches of scarlet meet the white sandy shores and turquoise blue waters to create a visual masterpiece. The interplay of colour and texture is one of the most unusual and dramatic sights to be seen in Australia.
