Fossil Bluff and Lookout (KML)

For the geological buff these amazing sandstone cliffs are over 275 million years old and offer a rare insight into fossils. It’s the discovery site of Australia’s oldest fossil marsupial uncovered in the mid 19th century estimated to be approximately 25 million years old. Visitors can expect to see and touch several hundred different types of fossils preserved in the rocks – see how many you can find! This walk also includes the short lookout walk which is also accessible from the carpark.

Route/Trail notes

In the carpark follow the hill upwards to the right. It is quite steep but short. It's a great lookout from the top. Once complete head back to the carpark then down to the beach. Turn right, the bluff is visible and a quick walk along the beach.
