Don't be fooled by the rocks that I got.
On our way to Monkey Mia, we stopped at Hamelin Pool to see something quite amazing. At Hamelin Pool is a colony of Stromatalites. Now, to the untrained eye, Stromatolites are a loads of rocks in some shallows of water. To those in the know though, these rocks are almost identical to organisisms that existed more than 1900 million years ago and give us clues into the biulding blocks of life. The stromatolites were over 3500 million years old and were still living - WOW. Now, as amazing as this was, it was a little hard to see past them just being rocks.
