During a holiday to Lake Clifton in Western Australia last March, Ms Sofina Tan and her husband, Mr Joseph Cheah stumbled upon a moment that has stayed with them ever since.
What looked like clusters of round, white rocks dotting the edge of Lake Clifton was, in fact, alive – and among the oldest living things on Earth. Often described as “living fossils”, these rare thrombolites are formed by ancient microbes.

“It amazed me to think of what I was looking at,” says Ms Tan, of the thrombolite reef located within Yalgorup National Park, just south of Mandurah. “It’s about 2,000 years old and the largest in the Southern Hemisphere.”
“We have an interest in geology, so getting to see this marvelous array of land features made this a truly awesome trip,” she adds.

For the couple, who have visited Australia a few times, this trip felt different. Beyond familiar Western Australia hubs, they found themselves venturing further, drawn to places like the Pinnacles, Yalgorup National Park and the lesser-known corners in between.
