Day 6 (21.10.2018) – Today we camped here at Estuary Hideaway Holiday Park for another night at AUD75.
After breakfast we drove about 5km to Lake Clifton for the boardwalk to see the Thrombolites. Living rock-like structures known as thrombolites have formed on the edges of Lake Clifton, and can be viewed from a boardwalk. Visited Cape Bouvard winery and brewery nearby. Went to Woolworths supermarket to buy groceries for lunch and dinner. After lunch we went boating in the estuary water for an hour.
Mandurah weather: 20°/15°C.

Living rock-like structures known as thrombolites have formed on the edges of Lake Clifton, and can be viewed from a boardwalk.
The most striking things about the thrombolites are their limestone colour and rounded shape. The thrombolite-building micro-organisms are too small for the human eye to see and resemble the earliest forms of life on Earth. The discovery of modern examples helped scientists to understand the significance of micro-organisms in the environment and unravel the long history of life on Earth.
Scientists know little about the thrombolites and why they form at Lake Clifton, but one theory is that they form because the lake is associated with swelling of fresh groundwater that is high in calcium carbonate.

Lake Clifton’s thrombolites are very fragile, so an observation walkway has been built for visitors to enjoy these incredible formations while protecting them from damage.
The micro-organisms living in this environment are able to precipitate calcium carbonate from the waters as they photosynthesis, forming the mineralised structure that is the thrombolite.

When French sailors discovered Western Australia in 1801, they named the area “Cape of Bouvard” after French astronomer Alexis Bouvard. Years later, wine makers discovered that French grape varieties thrive at Cape of Bouvard. The name lives on at Cape Bouvard® Winery & Brewery.
