Lake Clifton Thrombolites - Yalgorup National Park, Western Australia: DJI Mavic Mini
DJI Mavic Mini battling the strong winds at the Lake Clifton Thrombolites - Yalgorup National Park, Western Australia.
The Lake Clifton Thrombolites are living fossils and resemble the earliest forms of life on Earth. These ones are said to be only 2000 years old.
Lake Clifton - Western Australia
Lake Clifton is used as a stop over for migratory birds like the Sharp Tailed Sandpiper, Red Necked Stint and the Rainbow Bird. These birds migrate from places as far away as the Solomon Islands, New Guinea and even Siberia. At times there are also large flocks of black swans here.
Thrombolites
A 'reef' of Thrombolites stretches 6 kilometres along the shores of Lake Clifton and in places is up to 160 metres wide. It is believed to be the largest reef of its kind in the southern hemisphere.

Thrombolites of Lake Clifton
Some shaky video (I will use a tripod next time) and some of my son's and his girlfriend's photos of the thrombolites at Lake Clifton, south of Perth, interspersed with some information about how the thrombolites are formed and what role they played millions of years ago in making the planet habitable for life. For more information, I recommend
Thrombolites Lake Clifton, Western Australia
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 upwellings of fresh groundwater that is high in calcium carbonate. The micro-organisms living in this environment are able to precipitate calcium carbonate from the waters as they photosynthesise, forming the mineralised structure that is the thrombolite.
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.
Facilities include picnic tables, toilets and an information shelter.
Thrombolites, Pelicans and Orchids: Lakes Richmond and Clifton; Western Australia
Thrombolites, Pelicans and Orchids: Trip to Lakes Richmond and Clifton, south of Perth in Western Australia. Doug and Ellen saw the living and fossilized Thrombolites, descendents of the oldest lifeforms on earth, dating back over 3.5 billion years and responsible for adding oxygen to the Earth's atmosphere, making it inhabitable for animals, including humans. They also saw Australian Pelican, Egrets, and Cowslip, Pink Fairy and Enamel Orchids as they walked the Lake Clifton trail in Yalgorup National Park. September 2011.

The Lake's Apprentice
This gentle video shows up-close the beauty of Yalgorup National Park and Lake Clifton, south of Mandurah in Western Australia, and is accompanied by Annamaria Weldon reading poetry written about the place.
'The Lake's Apprentice' is a book that offers an intimate portrait of the chain of lakes on Australia's south-west coast. It contains a suite of poems alongside celebrated essays and nature notes cognisant of current environmental research. It is also illustrated throughout with colour photographs depicting the lakes and their flora and fauna. This elegant testimony collapses time, evoking the long past of the local Aboriginal peoples' (the Bindjareb Noongar people) relationship to the wetlands, and thinks through to a resilient future. It contains the nature essay, 'Threshold Country', that won Annamaria Weldon the inaugural Nature Essay Prize by the Nature Conservancy in 2011.

Peel Yalgorup Wetlands System
The Mandurah Estuary, Peel Inlet, Harvey Estuary and the region’s many lakes, rivers and conservation reserves form the Peel-Yalgorup Wetland System, which was declared of International Importance in 1990 by the Ramsar Convention.
The estuary is the largest and most diverse estuarine complex and the most important area for migratory and resident waterbirds in south west Australia. They support unique and critically endangered communities, including the thrombolites at Lake Clifton which are over 2,000 years old.
Bring your binoculars and grab the ‘Birdwatching Walking Trail Guide’ at the Mandurah Visitor Centre or download from visitpeel.com.au and start exploring by land, boat or canoe.

Birds of the Peel-Yalgorup
When most people are sleeping, Mandurah's internationally significant Peel-Yalgorup is a flurry of activity. Local volunteers, from Mandurah Bird Observers and Birds Australia, take to the night as undercover investigators, researching the health and migratory patterns of the birds that inhabit our Peel-Yalgorup wetlands.
Weak from their long migration, these tiny birds arrive here each summer to enjoy the warm weather and abundant food. Following a pathway of wetland stepping stones, from the far northern hemisphere to our southern shores, these migratory birds chase an endless summer in a round journey of 25,000 km.
But as the world's human population continues to grow, many species are being affected. The wetlands which once formed part of the migratory route face growing threats. Some have been destroyed.
The loss of wetlands is an international issue and in 1971 the Ramsar Convention was developed for the conservation and wise use of wetlands. The Peel-Yalgorup system is part of this treaty, and as such, it is a designated Ramsar site -- a wetland of international importance.
The Peel-Yalgorup is cherished by the local community. Hundreds of volunteers invest significant time to protecting the wetlands and monitoring the eclectic mix of bird species which call the Peel-Yalgorup home.
Whether you are a bird watching enthusiast or simply intrigued by the natural beauty of the Peel region, this documentary gives a glimpse into the remarkable journey these birds make each year. Here we showcase just a few of the species which rely on the wetlands of the Peel-Yalgorup.
