The Petrified Forest at Curio Bay is a fascinating spot where you can see ancient trees turned to stone. The area is right on the coast, so you get amazing views of the ocean while exploring the fossilized forest. At low tide you can walk out among the remains of these trees and really appreciate how old and unique they are. The spot is also great for photography, especially with the waves and rocks framing the scene. It’s easy to reach from the car park,
