Please keep your distance and do not feed them! Fossil Cliffs Heading along the valley towards the sea, you can admire the fossil rock formations and vast sea views, the huge sea cliffs and million-year-old marine fossils, with endless grasslands and blue sky behind them - peaceful and stunning.

You need to prepare enough water and physical strength (3 to 5 hours round trip). Painted Cliffs The colorful sandstone texture is like nature's oil painting. Low tide is the best time to view the scenery, which is very visually impactful. 🚢 Return to Darlington and take the ferry to leave the island 🦘【Travel Tips】 1️⃣There are no cars on the island, so you can explore on foot or by bike🚴‍♀️ 2️⃣ No stores, bring your own food and water🥪 3️⃣It is forbidden to feed wild animals🚫, especially wombats
