What looks like stones are actually formations formed by bacteria. There are a few other places in the world where these ancient creatures have survived. If you want to see them, it is best to come here at the end of the Australian summer, ie in April, because then the water level is the lowest.

There's a public toilet and picnic area here, so it's a great spot to stop for lunch - No public BBQ though!
Just up the road is a winery/brewery, so if a picnic doesn't appeal, there's that option!

The thrombolites of Lake Clifton are living, microbial, rock-like structures that form in the brackish water zone of the lake. They arise from the activity of microorganisms, particularly filamentous cyanobacteria such as Scytonema, which, through photosynthesis, deposit calcium carbonate (aragonite) from the water, thus forming a rock-like structure. These structures are a living representation of the oldest life forms on Earth and are considered a modern analogue to fossil thrombolites, which can be up to 3.5 billion years old.
