Lake Thetis and the Cervantes Stromatolites
Just outside Cervantes there is a small pool in which the conditions are so saline and so extreme that stromatolites can grow. This is nothing like the scale of those at Hamelin Pool, yet stromatolites none the less. See the post from Hamelin Pool for a fuller explanation of what stromatolites are
Keep off the stromatolites! There were a handful of red-capped plovers around the lake, as well as red-necked stint, grey-tailed tattlers, greenshank and common sandpipers.
