点评:This is a national park in the Peel Region between Margaret River and Perth, just south of Mandurah where you find coastal wetlands, an important stopping point for migratory birds as well as the unique thrombolites at Lake Clifton.
We stopped here during our drive north out of Margaret River in route to Perth and enjoyed a brief visit to Lake Clifton where there is a wooden boardwalk into the lake, allowing close up view of the living rocks (thrombolites) made up of microorganisms that resemble the earliest form of life on earth. This is one of the only places in the world where you can view thrombolite structures.
The Lake also provides stark wetland scenery and a bit of birdwatching. Would have also enjoyed taking one of the trails at the Lake Clifton carpark had time permitted. Worth a stopover and visit if exploring the Peel Region or planning a day drive between Perth and Margaret River.

我们在从玛格丽特河向北驶往珀斯的途中在这里停留,并短暂游览了克利夫顿湖,那里有一条通往湖中的木板路,可以近距离观察由微生物组成的活石(凝块石),这些微生物与地球上最早的生命形式相似。这是世界上仅有的几个可以看到凝块石结构的地方之一。
湖边还有荒凉的湿地风光和观鸟活动。如果时间允许,我也很乐意在克利夫顿湖停车场走一条小径。如果您正在探索皮尔地区或计划在珀斯和玛格丽特河之间一日游,这里值得停留参观。
