Cape Bridgewater - and a small "Petrified Forest"
    


Coast at Cape Bridgewater - and below
 

 

 

The "Petrified Forest" - and below
 
[On the south-western coast is an area where columnar and branching calcrete structures over 1 m high have formed from enlargement and subsequent infilling of hollows and pipes in the dune limestone. These have the appearance of a “petrified forest” although they are properly called rhizo-concretions and are not actually fossils.]
