Lake Thetis Stromatolites - Perth

Most people know Cervantes for being the gateway to the Pinnacles, but don’t know about the amazing Stromatolites which can be found in Lake Thetis.
 
Stromatolites are the fossils of bacteria colonies. They take on various different shapes, many of which look like rock Pod People from outer space.
 
The oldest Stromatolites are from Western Australia, dating back to 3.8 million years.
 
The formations at Lake Thetis are only about 3,000 years old, but are special because they are still living.
 
This makes them the oldest living life form on earth. It is definitely worth a trip to Lake Thetis while you are in Cervantes visiting the Pinnacles.
 
Lake Thetis is only about 1km from the town center and you can easily walk there.
 
The views of the lake are really beautiful and you can follow the 1.2 path around it.
 
The best time to go is in the drier seasons because you will see many more Stromatolites jutting from the water.
 
There are many formations right on the water edge, but visitors are asked not to touch.
