Broome Bird Observatory

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Broome Bird Observatory is an educational, scientific and recreational facility near Broome, Western Australia. It began operating in 1988 under the auspices of Birds Australia in order to provide a base for the study and enjoyment of the birds of Roebuck Bay and adjoining areas, especially the migratory waders for which the area is one of the most important sites in the world. The observatory was formally opened in 1990 and continues to provide accommodation and recreational birding opportunities for visitors as well as research facilities for scientists and ornithological expeditions.
