Broome SE51-06 — AUSTopo 1:250,000 Topographic Map (2025)

Broome, Roebuck Bay, and the southern Dampier Peninsula—mapped across one of Australia’s most distinctive tropical coastlines

Covering Broome (Rubibi), Roebuck Bay, Roebuck Plains, and the southern Dampier Peninsula, this AUSTopo 1:250,000 sheet presents an authoritative regional view of Western Australia’s west Kimberley coast. It brings together the urban and transport hub of Broome, the internationally significant tidal landscapes of Roebuck Bay, broad coastal plains, mangrove-lined waterways, pastoral country, and remote inland access routes.

From Cable Beach and the Broome townsite to tidal flats, creeks, wetlands, highways, station tracks, and sparsely settled country beyond the coast, this map provides the broad-area context needed for professional planning and informed travel. Broome and Roebuck Bay lie within Yawuru Country, and users should respect cultural sites and confirm permission before entering Aboriginal land, pastoral leases, conservation areas, or private tracks.

At 1:250,000 scale (1 cm = 2.5 km), this is the largest scale at which published topographic maps cover the entire Australian continent—ideal for regional planning, land management, emergency coordination, and serious remote-area navigation.
