Have you ever wondered what creates Port Hedland's famous Staircase to the Moon? ✨🌕

This unique natural phenomenon occurs when a full moon rises over the exposed mudflats at low tide. The moon's reflection on the tidal flats creates a stunning optical illusion, making it appear as though a staircase of light is reaching from the earth to the moon.
