Information

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.

Lakeside Loop Walktrail
A 5km, 2 hours return walktrail explores the eastern shoreline of Lake Clifton. It is suitable for most ages and fitness levels.
