Maria Island - April 1, 2022

Our last day on Maria Island. We walked to the Fossil Cliffs  - another 4km walk up a very steep hill then down again! The fossils here are amazing. Boulders jam packed with fossilised shells. These were dug out by Bernacchi to use for cement making but there was too much other material among the shells to allow the cement to be made properly.
