The living Thrombolite fossils, formed by microscopic organisms over millions of years, are a unique natural wonder found at Lake Richmond. Come stretch back time of the Noongar people, the traditional custodians of the land. Lake Richmond offers a boardwalk to view the fossils and learn the connection to land that has been richly used for food and water with aboriginal presence dating back thousands of years.
