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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Lake Clifton - Rare Indian Ocean Land Holding
RARE INDIAN OCEAN LAND HOLDING - 2,421 ACRES ON 5 TITLES
Throughout the developed world, waterfront property has been and is still one of Real Estate's prime commodities. People love to live within sight and sound of the ocean, which, together with fresh air and beautiful golden beaches, are an iconic part of Australia's fabulous heritage.
Today, this huge land bank estate represents a world class investment.
Ocean frontage is virtually impossible to acquire in areas close to cities, where public access to the ocean is secured by busy roads between properties and the beach.
With residential development spreading ever more rapidly along the beautiful coastline of Western Australia, it is now extremely rare for large tracts of land to be offered for sale within an easy driving distance of the Perth CBD. In years to come it will be impossible to acquire a well located parcel of land of this size anywhere on the coast.
Lake Clifton Beach Estate consists of five separate blocks of undulating country, each commanding spectacular views of the Indian Ocean and Lake Clifton. The lots vary in shape and size and are offered for sale as one parcel or may be sold individually.
The sale of this 980 hectares of virtually untouched, elevated land, bordered on both sides by Yalgorup National Park and with a pristine beach stretching as far as the eye can see, is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
Lot Sizes:
Lot 2240 - 40.4786 ha
Lot 2275 - 283.2836 ha
Lot 2657 - 221.2265 ha
Lot 3045 - 245.2395 ha
Lot 1000 - 189.6564 ha
TOTAL: 979.8846 ha (2,421.33 Acres)

One Breath
In September 2012, the Peel-Harvey Catchment Council invited visitors to Yalgorup National Park to participate in the public photo monitoring of Lake Clifton.
Two photo posts were installed on the Thrombolite Boardwalk and visitors to the lake were asked to photograph the view from the posts.
The posts never changed, just the seasons and the personal interpretation of what people saw at any given moment in time.
We hope you enjoy the journey through the change in seasons at this very special place.
Thank you to all those who participated in this monitoring project.
Some of you came from just up the road and some came from the other side of the world to see the Ramsar Wetlands of Lake Clifton and the ancient, living Thrombolites.
Thank you to Annamaria Weldon, award wining poet, writer and author for providing the voice-over readings.
