STS052-77-012 - STS-052 - Roebuck Bay and the town of Broome, Western Australia, Australia
Summary
The original finding aid described this as:
Description: Roebuck Bay (18.0S, 122.0E) is a prominent bay on the arid northwest coast of Western Australia and the town of Broome is one of the few prominent towns along this very sparcely settled coast. The large grey area extending back from the shoreling of the bay is the Roebuck Plains slowly being filled with sediment by local streams draining the Great Sandy Desert. The irregular bare patches on the desert to the south are burn scars from brush fires. This image was selected by the Public Affairs Office.
