Lake Clifton is one of a series of large narrow lakes just inland from the coast and home for a lot of different wildlife. The lake provides a sanctuary for migrating birds travelling to distant lands as far away as Siberia along with being home for native species like the three species of Black Cockatoo. Along the edges of the lake you’ll find all manner of animals like the emu, wallabies, kangaroos and bungarras.
The real treat though is located right on the edge of the lake not far from the car park. The ancient descendants of some of the earliest life forms on Earth in the form of Thrombolites. Micro-organisms that cluster together to form rock like formations, these wonderous creations can date their ancestry back billions of years to a time when the Earth was a much different place.
