Description: Enjoy a quiet moment of reflection and connection, breathing in the salty air and admiring the ocean’s awesome power.
Modelled on the mirabilis shell, the spiralling formation highlights the geomorphological processes that have formed the coastline along the region.
Waves and westerly winds blew beach sand, broken seashells and corals into huge sand dunes, over time forming the limestone of the Leeuwin-Naturaliste Ridge on top of the granite substrate.
