Flying Boat Wrecks - Broome

The wreck of three Royal Dutch Air Force Flying Boats lay half buried in the mud at Roebuck Bay.

The boats were destroyed by a Japanese Air Raid in 1942 while moored near the jetty. Only seen at minus tides, these wrecks remain as evidence of the flying boat wrecks sunk by Japanese Aircraft in World War II.

It is approximately a one kilometre walk out to the wrecks. Check tide times. Alternatively, the Kimberley hovercraft offers special tours subject to tidal conditions.
