Dinosaur Coast
While not living, dinosaur footprints along the Dinosaur Coast in the Kimberly region of North West WA include the most significant dinosaur trackway in the world. Stretching for 80 kilometres from Broome to the Dampier Peninsula, it includes footprints of several species of dinosaurs, made between 127 and 140 million years ago.

Wolfe Creek Meteorite Crater
Of geological interest also is the Wolfe Creek meteorite crater in the Kimberley region of the North West. Wolfe Creek is the second largest impact crater in the world, formed by a 15km meteorite that hit the Earth 300 000 years ago.
